Details

Summary

In 2019 it was said to be added to fix the drivers but that has not
happened so it does not make sense to present a non-error to users.

Event Timeline

I think it's important to leave this sort of message in for kernel developers to see, but agreed it has little user-facing value. What about something like this:

#ifndef INVARIANTS
if (bootverbose)
#endif
	printf("%s: Bad dn_init result from %s (ifp %p), ignoring.\n",
	    __func__, if_name(ifp), ifp);

i.e., always print it in an INVARIANTS kernel, otherwise hide it under bootverbose

Either way seems fine to me. I’d ask vangyzen or bdrewery for input.
