The check in tda9950 is sensible enough, the device relies on interrupts
to report the status of CEC operations so we'd need to poll constantly
which doesn't seem great.  It wouldn't be *so* bad for things initiated
by the device but given that CEC is a network and we might get messages
from other devices in the system at any time we'd need to poll
constantly even when otherwise idle which doesn't seem good.  I sent a
patch to lower the level of the log message, hopefully that's OK for
people.
