Why did you change from dev_err() to pr_err()? You just lost a lot of
information that the user previously was getting from dev_err() :(
I did this as per review comment from Andrew Jeffery, as we don't want to put this error for driver. It has to be handled by userspace. But I am still reporting some error here.

Again, don't do that :(
