Hi Ladislav, thanks for the review.

I had grepped through other drivers and found no consistent pattern. Some
places used dev_err still, others reduced to one of dev_{warn,info,dbg}, 
and others no message at all. Some messages mentioned they are deferring 
the probe, other didn't. I was already getting a couple of dev_info from 
the pinctrl core code, so I went that way. I figured the message might be
useful to someone, but I don't feel strongly.

I personally would lean to dev_dbg if you think dev_info is too harsh, 
just in case someone's board suddenly isn't working after upgrade. But 
I'm certainly willing to remove the message entirely if you feel strongly,
or anyone else cares to weigh in.
