2. Remove all the printk noise in the detach functions
All of the printk output is really just noise. The user did a rmmod to
unload the driver, we really don't need to tell them about it.
I disagree. It's not that unusual for drivers to report device removal.
(It's not necessarily due to an rmmod either, not that that really
matters.)
Also, some of the messages are output using:
dev_dbg(dev->hw_dev, ...
or
dev_info(dev->hw_dev, ...
Unfortunately the hw_dev value is only used by drivers that are doing
DMA. For most drivers this variable is going to be NULL so the output
is not going to work as expected.
Agreed, those are bugs introduced by someone else's "cleanup"!
