Thank you for the review.

The change is already picked up last week. Yet, I can add prints
back with a followup patch, if no one has a problem with that.

Also, I am not quite sure what the use case would be to have an
error print. Perhaps dev_dbg() would be more fitting if it is
just for diagnosis?

Thanks
