Only print error message upon failure, and print more
details in case it does find an error.

This is on top of the firmware crash reporting patches,
not sure it would apply clean until those get in.

Yeah, this does conflict with the firmware crash dump patches.

As I reworked how the diag interface is used, this doesn't directly
apply anymore. And are these values really that important?

I actually removed this line in the firmware crash dump patchset.

Probably with your re-work, this patch is no longer useful.  At the time I wrote it,
it allowed a bit more information in error cases and less noise when everything was
OK.
