Most if not all ways pcmcia_request_io() can fail are related to broken
drivers. For those, dev_dbg() is enough in drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c.
Otherwise, it's better to do the verbose error reporting in
drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c:pcmcia_request_io() [specifically after the
two calls to alloc_io_space()] than to duplicate this in each and every
driver.

Best,
