FWIW, I find these prints to be somewhat useful. they serve to
"announce" that the kernel probed a device successfully. This can be
somewhat helpful when reading logs from customers trying to figure out
why something doesn't work.

I don't have any strong opinions of course since it is not such a big
deal but I wanted to point out that these prints _are_ somewhat useful.
