[PATCH] [net-next] hns3: Demote load and progress messages to debug level

[PATCH] [net-next] hns3: Demote load and progress messages to debug level

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

No driver should spam the kernel log when merely being loaded.
The message in hclge_init() is clearly a debug message.

Alternatively, the printing in hns3_init_module() could be removed
completely, but that would make hns3_driver_string[] and
hns3_copyright[] unused, which HiSilicon legal may object against?

From a IANAL perspective, pr_debug() is O.K. for me.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.16 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after June 8th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
