This changes the location of the printk for montioring if the stucture pointer desc of type structure desc has a error count due to failing in the switch statement for checking it's status from the default switch case in this switch to the area of the function for checking if there is a error count. Due to this this part of the function can now be uncommented as it's now needed for printing out important information if the structure pointer,desc has a error count for debugging purposes.
This error count seems to be secondary to the desc->status. It's isn't normally logged (RX errors on serial links are quite normal) and only the "default" case, normally not seen, would be logged (to indicate unhandled condition). In the "normal" error path, the driver ignores error count, because there could be several errors counted for a single erroneous frame (or non-frame). Also the patch seems to remove the beginning of a preprocessor directive (#if) without removing its end (#endif). I'd be surprised if it compiles.
