Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] staging: most: dim2: logging cleanup and modernization

This series modernizes the logging in the dim2 driver. Following
feedback from Greg Kroah-Hartman, the driver is silenced by moving
non-critical info messages to debug level, and the remaining
error/warning messages are converted to the modern device-specific
logging API.

v4:
 - Split the work into a 2-patch series as requested by Greg KH.
 - Converted non-critical informational messages to dev_dbg() to
   ensure the driver is quiet during normal operation.
 - Converted remaining error and warning messages to dev_err() and
   dev_warn() for proper device-specific logging.

v3:
 - Removed "staging-next" and redundant "[PATCH]" from the subject line.
 - Shortened commit message lines to stay under 75 characters.
 - Added this changelog below the "---" as suggested by Ethan Tidmore.
 - Cleaned up temporary submission notes from the permanent commit body.

v2:
 - Rebased against the staging-next branch.
 - Fixed CC list to include relevant maintainers.
