I opened a bug report in debian since we are using Debian package:

We will not fork this Debian package just for this small fix. The bug report has been forwarded upstream here:
https://github.com/nfc-tools/libnfc/issues/391
(you might want to subscribe to that bug in case upstream has questions for you)

We will get the fix through Debian with a new upstream version. In the mean time, you are free to add the module to the blacklist by yourself. /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-libnfc.conf is a configuration file and you are entitled to modify it yourself.

Thank you.
