Someone complains the message appears continuously. This occurs because the device is woken from UPS mode, and the driver re-loads the firmware. When the device enters runtime suspend and cable is unplugged, the device would enter UPS mode. If the runtime resume occurs, and the device is woken from UPS mode, the driver has to re-load the firmware and causes the message. If someone wakes the device continuously, the message would be shown continuously, too. Use dev_dbg to avoid it. Note that, the function could be called before register_netdev(), so I don't use netif_info() or netif_dbg().
