I beg to differ for two reasons:
1. Reset happens very rarely, if at all. So this message (that get
printed after reset is done) will definitely not spam the kernel log.
2. When a reset starts we print an appropriate error message. I think
it is expected by the user that we will also print if and when the
reset has finished successfully. I really believe that lack of this
printing might be deceiving for users.

Thanks,
Oded
