We should be able to find a middle ground. Spamming the log with all sorts of device specific information/debug is obviously not constructive, but a single liner to advertise that an important device/controller has been successfully initialised is more helpful than it is hinderous. This print was added due to the silent initialisation costing me several hours of debugging ACPI device/driver code (albeit learning a lot about ACPI as I go) just to find out that it was already doing the right thing - just very quietly. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Linaro Services Technical Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
