I really don't know how to feel about this one.

This isn't more useful to the regular user wanting to see if the
driver is probed, which is what this message should be about. 

And this one isn't clearer or more obvious than the previous one
(which was already pretty bad). I really think having some message
that basically says "MMC controller initialized" or something along
those lines would work better.

However, I can also see value in having this printed, for developers,
but maybe as dev_dbg?
