From: Hante Meuleman <meuleman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> During initialization of the device, but also on some other moments the driver prints an error that the netdev already exists. This is a result of the way the driver is initializing the firmware and not really an error. The code is not treating it as an error either. This error print has resulted in many questions by users and is confusing and incorrect. This patch changes the error log into a debug info log.
