Hi Bjorn,

IIRC I encountered this during development of my retimer driver, where
the op in that driver failed for some reason and it was very useful to
get the return value to debug that.

And sure, I guess kretprobe might be also useful here but I think it's
very common to include the return value in the error message when
something fails, no?

Do you mean adding the return value to the other dev_err prints after
typec_*_set() calls also?
