The reason that pci_generic_config_write32() message is there is
because, as the message says, a read/modify/write may corrupt bits in
adjacent registers.

It makes me a little queasy to do these read/modify/write sequences
silently. A generic driver doing an 8- or 16-bit config write has no
idea that the write may corrupt an adjacent register. That leads to
bugs that are very difficult to debug and only reproducible on iProc.

The ratelimiting on the current pci_generic_config_write32() message
is based on the call site, not on the device. That's not ideal: we
may emit several messages for device A, trigger ratelimiting, then do
a write for device B that doesn't generate a message.

I think it would be better to have a warning once per device, so if
XYZ device has a problem and we look at the dmesg log, we would find a
single message for device XYZ as a hint. Would that reduce the
nuisance level enough?

So I think I did it wrong in fb2659230120 ("PCI: Warn on possible RW1C
corruption for sub-32 bit config writes"). Ratelimiting is the wrong
concept because what we want is a single warning per device, not a
limit on the similar messages for *all* devices, maybe something like
this:
