The dev_info() messages have the PCI device and function number in the string, so it's really not too hard to track down the resulting netdev port:
Jan 13 15:46:55 snelson3-cup kernel: [621235.401627] i40e 0000:84:00.1: PHC enabled

Later messages use netdev_info() and have both the device number and the netdev name:
Jan 13 15:46:56 snelson3-cup kernel: [621236.508868] i40e 0000:04:00.1 p261p2: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None

Note that the driver name appears in both as well.
