    The return value fixes should also be squashed into the patch that introduced those lines
    given it hasn't yet been applied.
    
    Further, IIRC I previously suggested removing the dev_err()s entirely, not just switching
    them to pr_err(). Returning an error code is enough IMO, there's no need to pollute the
    kernel logs with application-level errors. Or make them dev_dbg().

Alright, I will replace with dev_dbg(), information can still be extracted by user with debug.
