When a driver fails to bind because a resource it still missing it's not
helpful to report this as (usually) probing is repeated later.

I do not think that patch that merely suppresses a harmless warning in
dmesg belongs in stable.

I'll drop it.

FWIW, my experience with users is that unexplained warnings in dmesg
sometimes end up being even more trouble than an actual bug :)
