From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx> Standard use of the driver may result in error messages on the kernel ring buffer. This can hide other more important messages, and alert unnecessarily the user. Let's keep dev_err() for the important occasions. If __uvc_query_ctrl() failed with a non -EPIPE error, then report that with dev_err. If an error code is obtained, then report that with dev_dbg.
