I agree with you on this. Even if model name is printed, you will have
to go back and check the compatible anyway. But I think it will be
useful to print the compatible instead of just reporting that nothing
matched.

Bartosz, if you agree too, could you send a fix patch just printing the
compatible?

Thanks,
Sekhar
