There seems to be no reason to have different error messages between
netlink and printk. It also cleans up the function slightly.

If you are doing this, it's probably smaller object code to use
"%s", errmsg
as the errmsg string can be reused
#define BOND_NL_ERR(bond_dev, extack, errmsg) \
do { \
NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, errmsg); \
netdev_err(bond_dev, "Error: %s\n", errmsg); \
} while (0)
#define SLAVE_NL_ERR(bond_dev, slave_dev, extack, errmsg) \
do { \
NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, errmsg); \
slave_err(bond_dev, slave_dev, "Error: %s\n", errmsg); \
} while (0)
I like the thought and would agree if not for how NL_SET_ERR_MSG is
coded. Unfortunately it does not appear as though doing the above change
actually generates smaller object code. Maybe I have incorrectly
interpreted something?
No, it's because you are compiling allyesconfig or equivalent.
Try defconfig with bonding.
