+Subject: firmware: Remove redundant log messages from drivers
+Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:40:31 +0000
+Forwarded: no
+
+Now that firmware_class logs every success and failure consistently,
+many other log messages can be removed from drivers.
+
+This will probably need to be split up into multiple patches prior to
+upstream submission.
