Almost all of the pr_*() calls in this driver should be converted over
to use dev_*() calls instead.  And some of them, like this one, should
be removed entirely (no need for a driver to be "noisy" when a device
for it is found, it should be quiet if at all possible, unless something
went wrong.)

So can you do that here instead?  I've applied the earlier patches in
this series, and stopped here.
