Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Demote messages about fw flags size to info

These messages are not reporting a real error, just the fact that the
firmware knows about more flags then the driver.

Currently these messages are presented to the user during boot if there
is no bootsplash covering the console, sometimes even if the boot splash
is enabled but has not started yet by the time this message is shown.

Demoting it to the info level helps having a clean boot process.
