(going through really old patches sitting in patchwork and cleaning
things up, and even though Pridhiviraj as left IBM, it's probably good
to follow up publicly)

So, we merged this:

commit e6bca4a0aa985920e985e3a654f4740347ebbf0e
Author: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>
Date:   Mon Apr 9 13:41:44 2018 +1000

    phb4: Quieten and improve "Timeout waiting for electrical link"
    
    This happens normally if a slot doesn't have a working HW presence
    detect and relies instead of inband presence detect.
    
    The message we display is scary and not very useful unless ou
    are debugging, so quiten it up and change it to something more
    meaningful.

Which made things quieter and more accurately reflect the reality of
hardware.

As such, not going to merge this patch.
