Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Move non-fatal warn logs to dbg level

During driver load below warn logs are printed in the console.
Since driver may not implement all wmi events sent by fw and
all of them are non-fatal, move this log to debug level to
remove un-necessary warn message on console.

[ 361.887230] ath10k_snoc a000000.wifi: Unknown eventid: 16393
[ 361.907037] ath10k_snoc a000000.wifi: Unknown eventid: 237569

Alternatively, you could add these ignored commands to wmi-tlv.h, and
just ignore them specifically. That's better documentation, in case
new WMI events come along that *are* important to notice when we
ignore them. There are other recent examples of that sort of patch
being merged.

I have actually tried to do that (what Brian describes above) during the
last years but the problem is that there are just so many different
firmware branches that it's difficult to keep up in ath10k. So in the
end these warnings just confused the users and they mistakenly thought
this warning message is the cause of their problems. That's why I think
it's best to remove this warning.

Thanks for the background. To be clear, I'm perfectly fine with this
patch too. I was mostly just volunteering an alternative, in case it
*was* your intention as maintainer to keep it this way.

Brian
