You now just allowed userspace to spam the kernel logs for no good
reason :(
Thanks, will remove the pr_err to not to spam the logs.

Also, always use dev_*() calls in a driver, not pr_*() ones, as then you
will know exactly what driver/device is sending out the message.
Thank you for the input, will do.

And you returned the wrong error code if this happens :(
