When drivers work properly, they should be quiet. This patch series adds a bunch of dev_info() calls, which is not ok. If a developer wants to see extra messages, use the dev_dbg() infrastructure, or the tracing infrastructure, both of which are there for this very reason. So yes, I agree with Andy, this series is not ok, don't make more noise please. thanks, greg k-h
