Add the function name to the error message.
These messages are not very helpful:
[183356.176682] uncorrectable error :
[183356.180273] uncorrectable error :
[183356.184194] uncorrectable error :
[183356.187773] uncorrectable error :
[183356.191280] uncorrectable error :

Not sure if above messages come from this code. I also believe there must be
a better way, advice welcome. Maybe we need to make sure all possible callers
print additional information if -1 is returned.
But this small change should be better than nothing, meanwhile.
Regards,
Tormod

Better to use %s and __func__.
Despite adding the function name, it'd be much better to briefly convey
what has happened.

Hi Vikram,
I agree. I also replaced printk with pr_err which seems to be preferred
nowadays.
Sorry I can not help much with the better solution since I don't know this
code. The function is called via function pointers so it is not straight-
forward to find all callers and check their code.
Regards,
Tormod

Pushed to l2-mtd.git with a minor amendment (kill the semicolon at the
end).

Thanks! I guess the intention of the colon at the end was that the
calling function would fill in more details, but if this does not
happen it is better without. In that case it should even be a \n at
the end though...
