[PATCH] mmc: sdhci: Stop advertising the driver in dmesg

From: Linus Walleij

Date: Tue Oct 07 2025 - 09:15:15 EST


As much as we have grown used to seeing this message on
every kernel boot, it does not add any technical value.

Demote the init banner to pr_debug() like other similar
messages in the driver and drop the copyright message
altogether.
