Actually, squinting at this patch more closely now, I think this isn't
what you had in mind. The comment says "Dummy error that can be
constructed outside the `kernel` crate." but the error now comes from
the kernel crate :(

Perhaps you could suggest a different modification that would both
meet the original intent and allow references to core::fmt to
disappear?
