Hi Joe,

No, please don't. The kzalloc may get changed in the future to not dump stack (that was added originally because not everyone was handling OOM properly, right?), input core might get changed to use something else than kzalloc, etc, etc.
The majority of errors use dev_err so we also get idea what device failed (if there are several), and more.
Thanks.
