Excessive logging in thunderbolt driver

[Stephen Hemminger]

The thunderbolt driver needs to stop logging.
All these debug messages and the laptop is on battery with no devices connected.
(I did use a USB key, but that is not a thunderbolt device).

IMHO a production driver should log nothing in normal operation.
If you insist, the one message when device is found on discovery/probe
is allowed at INFO level.

All the rest should just go away, or be turned into pr_debug().
