From 5030718ee465c759c2a851851e79039f58b9efb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prarit Bhargava Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 14:25:14 -0400 Subject: PCI: output FW warning in pci_read/write_vpd pci_read/write_vpd() can fail due to a timeout. Usually the command times out because of firmware issues (incorrect vpd length, etc.) on the PCI card. Currently, the timeout occurs silently. Output a message to the user indicating that they should check with their vendor for new firmware.
