I think this is a valid concern! In linux we do not do that, for example
we ask people to not log errors on kmalloc as it will be logged on
failures so drivers do not need to do that.

Well in that case we should fix pr_err, there are only 17 instances of
these in core, and few of them are justified in core (no dev pointer)
and 11 in stream (few of them valid (no stream pointer) but rest can be
converted to use dev_err! Even then they print stream name, so checking
error is not justified argument!

Naah you are having duplicate logs, it does *not* help in debug seems
1000 line logs and few lines conveying duplicate info, I would rather
have each line unique so that I dont have to skip duplicate ones while
debugging!
