[PATCH v2 3/3] hwmon: (dell-smm) Warn if SMM call took a very long time to execute

From: Armin Wolf
Date: Tue Apr 26 2022 - 17:32:43 EST


If a particular SMM call takes a very long time to execute,
the user might experience audio problems. Print a warning
if a particular SMM call took over 0.250 seconds to execute,
so the user can check whether or not possible audio problems
are caused by this driver.
