In this case will already print an error.

What are you trying to achieve?

If the only reason is of this patch is print a message you should either, or
enable dynamic printk and enable dev_dbg or event better use the kernel trace
functionality. There is no need to be more verbose.

Example:
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/cros_ec/enable
    $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

    369.416372: cros_ec_request_start: version: 0, command: EC_CMD_USB_PD_POWER_INFO
    369.420528: cros_ec_request_done: version: 0, command:
EC_CMD_USB_PD_POWER_INFO, ec result: EC_RES_SUCCESS, retval: 16

Cheers,
 Enric
