I guess I mainly wanted to understand your intent.  I don't
really mind your proposed change, but I would really prefer
to have it be part of an overall plan to upgrade all error
messages this way.

Ideally error (and other) messages are done consistently,
and so changing them in just one file sort of raises a flag
for me.

Can you survey the messages elsewhere in the Greybus code
and get a sense of how much work it will be to do this
comprehensively?  Your current patch affects four spots in
one source file; how many others would there be?

And if updating everything is a task you're willing to do,
then I think I would prefer you extend this change.
