I created a patch that teaches printk et al to emit a symbolic error name for an error valued integer[1]. With that applied dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't enable I2C clock, ret=%dE\n", ret); emits ... can't enable I2C clock, ret=EIO if ret is -EIO. Petr Mladek (i.e. one of the printk maintainers) had concerns if this would be well received and worth the effort. He asked to present it to a few subsystems. So for now, this patch converting the i2c-imx driver shouldn't be applied yet but it would be great to get some feedback about if you think that being able to easily printk (for example) "EIO" instead of "-5" is a good idea. Would it help you? Do you think it helps your users?
