For example, when the RTC clock is not set, it's not really useful to print a kernel error log every time someone tries to read the clock: ~ # hwclock -r [ 604.508263] rtc rtc0: read_time: fail to read hwclock: RTC_RD_TIME: Invalid argument If there's a real error, it's likely that lower level or higher level code will tell it anyway. Make these logs debug logs, and also print the error code for the read failure.
