And it's totally noisy :(

Also, if you have a 'struct device' you should always use the dev_*()
calls instead, which will show you exactly what device is asking for
what.

Please just make this a debug call, that way you can turn it on
dynamically if you really want to see what firmware is attempting to be
loaded.
