We changed this from dev_err() to dev_WARN() in commit 0cb54a3e47cb ("USB: debugging code shouldn't alter control flow"). The difference between dev_WARN() and dev_err() is that dev_WARN() prints a stack trace and if you have panic on OOPS enabled then it leads to a panic. The dev_err() function just prints the error message. Back in the day we didn't have usb emulators fuzz testing the kernel so dev_WARN() didn't cause a problem for anyone, but these days the dev_WARN() interferes with syzbot so let's change this to a dev_err().
