There is no point having these complaints to be dev_err as they are just adding noise to bootlog.
No, errors are errors and not displaying them just makes it harder for people to debug things. If you don't want to see errors just change your system configuratiion to hide them.
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.
If you don't like deferred probing please contribute to the efforts to order probing.
I just tried to make it consistend to other subsystems where patches to silence deferred probing warnings are accepted...
Please use subject lines matching the style for the subsystem. This makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
I wasn't aware of it, sorry. Will fix it next time.
