For sure I want to see all errors, but this is not hardware error nor
kernel misconfiguration, so showing it to the user is a bit pointless.
I'm using quiet boot on production systems and technicians are told
to report all errors they see... This one pops up and has nothing
to do with errorneous behaviour.

I just tried to make it consistend to other subsystems where patches to
silence deferred probing warnings are accepted...

I wasn't aware of it, sorry. Will fix it next time.
