Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Remove module probe announcements from CODEC drivers

I'm not fond of this at all.

Can I get a justification for this change? On my boards, the CS4270 driver is compiled in-kernel, not as a module, and so when the kernel boots, the driver announces itself when it's loaded. I like this a lot, which is why I always put a pr_info() in the __init function of my modules.
