We can certainly create a table for all error messages. It'll hurt readability 
of code in many of the other places where printks are used to indicate some 
hardware error.

My suggestion was intended as an way to handle multiple driver versions
all using the same firmware or vice versa. By locking the firmware and
driver version together you might make maintenance more difficult.

We misunderstood your earlier comment. The compatible driver & firmware
images have the same major & minor version numbers. Only the sub-version
numbers may be different. This gives us more flexibility in releasing
driver & firmware fixes.
