6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit 56dd29088c9d9510c48a8ebad2465248fde36551 ]

The driver saves the minor number it gets upon registration
in its descriptor for debugging purposes. However, there is
inevitably a window between registration and saving the correct
minor in a descriptor. During this window the debugging output
will be wrong.
As wrong debug output is worse than no debug output, just
remove it.
