or

"Failed to find reset for SPI"

if you want to keep it short.

or

Failed to reset SPI (err %d)

to keep it short.

When debugging you can easily be overwhelmed by thousands of messages
when a message is written per sector read from a device.

So I think log_debug() is fine for messages occurring only once during
initialization. But for messages that would otherwise flood the screen
log_content() or log_io() should be used. Cf. drivers/mtd/spi/sandbox.c.

LOGL_DEBUG,         /* Basic debug-level message */
LOGL_DEBUG_CONTENT, /* Debug message showing full message content */
LOGL_DEBUG_IO,      /* Debug message showing hardware I/O access */

Sounds like log_content() would be fine if written once per read.
