Perhaps it makes sense to make this a dev_dbg() over dev_info(), especially
since it appears that this information is of more use to the developer (who
most likely has the suitable log level set anyway), and given that there is
no way to reliably detect a presence in a slot on some platforms, this
might otherwise, add to the other messages that normal users don't pay
attention to usually - if this is not to be treated as an error.
