In this particular case it might not be clear that an unknown GCT
version causes a complete GCT failure so both messages are useful.

Nothing in this series is very helpful so NAK. In general I'm not fond
of trivial changes like this since it's hard to say what motivates the
author. In theory it shouldn't matter but so far it's been directly
related to the quality of the patches. I can help test changes for
gma500 if needed but please make it worth my while.

Best regards
