Do we want to blast it to all listeners or treat it as an async reply?
We can save the seq and portid of the original requester and use reply,
I think.

Hm, printing in the dot, and assuming sizeof err_msg + sub_err < 116
is a bit surprising. But I guess you have a reason...

Maybe pass them separately to ethnl_module_fw_flash_ntf() then you can
nla_reserve() the right amount of space and sprintf() directly into the
skb?
