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.
