OK, will add.

While agree for other dev_info() calls, this one seems quite similar in
principle to the link up/down messages that get logged by the MII code
at [0]:

  [347229.872315] asix 1-1.3.2:1.0 enx000cf616fecb: link up, 100Mbps,
  full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1 [347229.920449] asix 1-1.3.2:1.0 enx000cf616fecb: link down

In my case it is logging that a removable part of the hardware has been
added or removed, which appears useful. Do you think it make sense in
this scenario?
