Subject: [PATCH 5.15 166/179] iommu/amd: Clarify AMD IOMMUv2 initialization messages

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

commit 717e88aad37befedfd531378b632e794e24e9afb upstream.

The messages printed on the initialization of the AMD IOMMUv2 driver
have caused some confusion in the past. Clarify the messages to lower
the confusion in the future.
