Sorry, I am preparing the 4.15 pull request right now, and it doesn't
include this change.

I do like the dev_err() change, but would prefer fewer lines of
output.  I could have applied just the dev_err() change, but to
minimize pain for people who parse the logs, I'd rather make one
change in the output instead of making one change now and another
later.
