This driver's initialization functions do not perform any custom code, except printing messages. Printing messages on modules loading/unloading is discouraged because it pollutes the dmesg regardless whether user actually has this device. Core kernel code already gives tools to investigate whether module was loaded or not. Drop the printing messages which allows to replace open-coded module_sdio_driver().
