sadly in our current world dvelopers and maintainers don't read any logs
and as long it compiles and boots it works and can be pushed :-(

they even argue instead fix a dmaned line in a textfile which could have
been fixed 8 years in advance and i have written a ton of such reports
for F30 not talking about 15 others where software spits warnings with
the source file and line into the syslog and nobody out there gives a
damn about it

one example of many
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1748322

the only way you can get developers to clean up their mess these days is
to spit it straight into their face in modal window everytime they login
but how to exclude innocent endusers.....

half of my "rsyslog.conf" is to filter out stuff i can't fix anyways to
have my peace when call the script below every time i reboot whatever
linux machine

the 'usb_serial_init - returning with error' is BTW Linux when you boot
with 'nousb usbcore.nousb'
