Please use up all 72 characters per line at your disposal. Excessively
short lines are hard to read.

I find this type of format hard to read. I prefer a semi-colon to
separate the message from the failure reason (i.e. error code).

Besides that I don't understand why you're dropping the parentheses
around the "chip %s, offset %d", I found that easier on the eye.
