Where we're going to continue regardless of the problem, rather than fail, then the message should be a WARNing rather than an ERROR.

Hm, this does propagate the error code to the callers some which will act and log the failure. Majority won't though - like suspend/resume etc. In those cases it feels more like an error than a warning.

dev_priv->guc.action_fail += 1;
dev_priv->guc.action_err = ret;

This one is interesting, error is propagated out a bit but then ignored in actual command submission.

If the above message means command will not be submitted error is probably more appropriate. Or perhaps we cannot tell if the command was submitted or not in this case?
