Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 01/67] staging: r8188eu: do not spam the kernel log

From: Michael Straube <straube.linux@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9a4d0d1c21b974454926c3b832b4728679d818eb ]

Drivers should not spam the kernel log if they work properly. Convert
the functions Hal_EfuseParseIDCode88E() and _netdev_open() to use
netdev_dbg() instead of pr_info() so that developers can still enable
it if they want to see this information.
