I think this is slightly redundant, since we already print something for
each of the decoders loaded, but eh, its a debug printk, maybe you're
debugging why none are loading, so its good to know you're reaching the
call to ir_raw_init...

So yeah, ok, I'm fine with this. Haven't tested it with actual raw IR
hardware, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.
