If the snd_soc_register_card() fails due a missing resource and the probe has to be deferred, the driver prints an error message. But since many probe retries can happen before a resource is available, the printed messages can spam the kernel log buffer and slow the boot. The information is useful to know that a dependency was not meet and a defer happened, but isn't necessary to print it on each probe deferral.
