Breno Leitao 281cb9d65a bnxt_en: Make PTP timestamp HWRM more silent
commit 056bce63c4 ("bnxt_en: Make PTP TX timestamp HWRM query silent")
changed a netdev_err() to netdev_WARN_ONCE().

netdev_WARN_ONCE() is it generates a kernel WARNING, which is bad, for
the following reasons:

 * You do not a kernel warning if the firmware queries are late
 * In busy networks, timestamp query failures fairly regularly
 * A WARNING message doesn't bring much value, since the code path
is clear.
(This was discussed in-depth in [1])

Transform the netdev_WARN_ONCE() into a netdev_warn_once(), and print a
more well-behaved message, instead of a full WARN().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
