dev_info() - But without an explicit "poll-interval' in the DT, this
code path doesn't exist anymore.

Re-read your code, this is not about enabling polling. This message
handles the case where an IRQ was given _and_ "poll-interval" was
specified. So there is something not 100% correct with the DT (IRQ _and_
polling), but this is obsolete now.

We don't print messages when IRQs are enabled, so enabling polling
should be a dev_dbg(), too.

Driver works correct -> dev_dbg()
Something is strange -> dev_info()

Hope that helps,
