The idea is to add this to printk after the severity: printk(KERN_ERR FW_BUG "This is not our fault\n");
If a Firmware issue should be hidden, because it is work-arounded, but you still want to see something popping up e.g. for info only: printk(KERN_INFO FW_INFO "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n");
or on the Linuxfirmwarekit to tell vendors that they did something stupid or wrong without bothering the user: printk(KERN_INFO FW_BUG "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n");
