HID: remove redundant WARN_ON()s in order not to scare users
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The WARN_ON() in implement() and extract() spit out stacktraces and
a lot of other information that might make users think that there is
something seriously wrong with the system. WARN_ON() should not be
deliberately triggerable by userspace application, which these can be.
Usually this WARN_ON() triggers when hid2hci utility is sending the
data that don't correspond to the device's report descriptor.

Convert these messages to more friendly printk().
