This isn't documented anywhere, and no one wil know how to use it.
So far that was grandfathered in, but with more complex usage
it really needs to be documented.

If you introduce this variable, please use it everywhere
in the function.

Please, no such message. It would start to show up everywhere unless
devicetree files are updated, which likely won't happen. Then we get
bogged down by people asking where this message suddenly comes from.

The hex value of RSR may be interesting for developers, but not for users.
Please drop.

Also, "caused" is redundant. Add it to the base string and add "not "
when needed.

The comment is quite useless. How does BIT(3) match RSR bit 28 ?
I am sure it is because the HW manual counts bits the other way,
but here it is just confusing and thus doesn't add value unless
you provide additional context.
