This is a little bit misleading, as the "base" was used for
identify which mbigen failed, so saying 'remove completely'
will make people think that we will miss some debug information.

In fact, we have HISI0152:00 stands for mbigen ACPI HID and
its UID, so we can identify the failing probed mbigen even
we remove the printing "mgn_chip->base". It's better to add
this clarify in the commit message as well.
