    It is just one line per driver.

    dev_err(dev, "no master priorities defined for this board\n");

    and

    dev_err(dev, "no settings defined for this board\n");


    Since "ti,da850-lcdk" is the only board supported in these drivers, all
    other boards will see these error messages.

    Also, these modules will be loaded and taking up memory on boards that
    don't use them. This not really a big deal and they can be explicitly
    disabled, so maybe it was not worth mentioning.
