I was hoping you could make the error message a bit more informative as
well, for example, by saying that a duplicate opp level was ignored:
arm-scmi arm-scmi.0.auto: [Firmware Bug]: Ignoring duplicate OPP 3417600 for NCC
or similar (e.g. as the current message looks like an error, with errno
and all, that indeed warrants warning level).
Perhaps with such a message you could even keep the warning level to
make it stand out more (if that's desirable) without the risk of scaring
users.
