Remove "Feature XYZ not supported by controller" messages.
During driver initialization, the driver examines the PQI Table Feature bits.
These bits are used by the controller to advertise features supported by the
controller. For any features not supported by the controller, the driver would
display a message in the form:
"Feature XYZ not supported by controller"
Some of these "negative" messages were causing customer confusion.
As it’s info log level and not warning or notice, these message are
useful in my opinion. You could downgrade them to debug, but I do not
see why. If customers do not want to see these info messages, they
should filter them out.
For completeness, is there an alternative to list the unsupported
features from the firmware for example from sysfs?
Kind regards,
Paul
