So the above snippet is the actual errors that are passed here:

If you just make it

error_report("%s: %s", chr->label, error_get_pretty(err));

we still get a good error.  It would arguably be better, since there's
no duplication, except that it doesn't mention character devices
anymore.  But something like "serial0: error connecting to socket" is a
decent error.

Thanks,
