I agree it's not essential, but IMO it is useful. It's also fairly standard in the kernel to have at least some indication in dmesg by default that a device driver was loaded, or rather, that a new device has been detected and is now available. I also don't think there's any harm in having an informative message. I would not mind if the level was changed from info to debug though. > If one wants to figure out, it's easy to either > use the usermode helper on device hotplug to log > a message, or just have a process do inotify on > /dev. Both ways are device driver independent. That sounds too much like having to jump through hoops.
