Agreed.

As you write yourself, this is a debug feature.  There is no need to
pollute normal output with such information.  It just makes booting
slower.  So debug() is appropriate here.

And I don't see why you would NOT want to have the information in
the else case.

I don't think this change is a good idea.  It should not be applied.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
