Make use of device state flags and print only devices with errors.
The result will look like this:
barebox@RIoTboard i.MX6S:/ devinfo -e
`-- 2188000.ethernet@2188000.of <-- (error!)
   `-- miibus0
      `-- mdio0-phy04
         `-- 0x00000000-0x0000003f (  64 Bytes): /dev/mdio0-phy04
   `-- eth0

What advantages brings that over doing a dmesg and looking at the
output?

It makes it possible to add additional handlers. For example, change
heartbeat pattern if some errors was detected. Or add board specific
selftest to check if listed devices was initialized without errors.

Regards,
Oleksij
