This debug message was removed in v4 of the series.
v3 has it: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20260112165914.4086692-28-ben.horgan@xxxxxxx/
v4 doesn't: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20260203214342.584712-27-ben.horgan@xxxxxxx/

Do you know which version of the series you were running?
