During the attach of this driver a couple commands are sent to the hardware
with usb_bulk_msg() to read the firmware version information. This information
is then dumped as dev_info() kernel messages. Thee messages are just added
noise and don't effect the operation of the driver.
For simplicity, remove the messages as well as the then unused functions
vmk80xx_read_eeprom() and vmk80xx_check_data_link().
This also fixes an issue reported by coverity about an out-of-bounds write
in vmk80xx_read_eeprom().

Originally posted as "[PATCH 1/4] staging: comedi: vmk80xx: fix out-of-bounds write"
Ian Abbott has some comments on that patch. It's cleaner to just remove the kernel
messages completely.
