Just to expand my answer. We have the 'driver should be quiet by
default' policy. Which usually means that there should be no 'foo
registered' or 'foo bound' messages if everything goes smooth. We do
not have 'don't warn about manufacturer issues' or 'don't barf if
firmware returns an error' kind of requirements. We can be nicer and
skip something if we know that it may return an error. But we don't
have to.
