No, please don't. The kzalloc may get changed in the future to not dump
stack (that was added originally because not everyone was handling OOM
properly, right?), input core might get changed to use something else
than kzalloc, etc, etc.

The majority of errors use dev_err so we also get idea what device
failed (if there are several), and more.

Thanks.
