I would add an empty line here.

I'd suggest using dev_dbg() for this and I'm not even sure if printing
the message is worth the effort.

Firmware will probably give you duplicates and users cannot do much
about fixing that anyway.

Again, I'd add an empty line here.

And does this really build with CONFIG_HMEM_REPORTING unset?
