Yeah, the previous dev_err was actually copy-pasted from a similar function that already existed. When I rebased to l2-mtd/spinor, I did the same copy-paste but that branch has pr_err instead of dev_err. I'm a noob, so I didn't want to change things without a good explanation :) On the other hand, I'm in favor of using dev_err instead.

Same here as above, copy-pasted, and so the logic is what already existed. I double-checked the calling code, and like you say, the callers do not tell the situations apart. About half the calls assume any error is timeout. The others either pass return value or some other error up, or they ignore it.
Thanks, Graham
