If I understand correctly, the mean point is this log is noisy. In this case, the log will only appear one time during the card probing(if it fails). But I do agree that it may create some potential noises. Converting EC error codes to Linux kernel error codes also work for me. Is it possible for you to send the corresponding patch? If not, I can try to work on it.
