I'm guessing so but yeah. Actually one thing I'd really like to do at some point is introduce an error to string conversion function and use that more widely for printing error messages, it's trivial and makes reading log messages *so* much more easy in general if the computer does the decoding for you if you get -EPROBE_DEFER instead of -517.
