Ah, I see. After reading the mail thread your motivation is clear.
You accept ugly messages when ena_com functions are called from probe()
for the sake of better messages when the same ena_com functions are
called later from other parts of the driver. Maybe an explanation of
this tradeoff would have been good in the commit message (or a link
to the mail thread).
