If I am not wrong, we have introduced warn_report_err() not as a replacement to
error_report(). They are newly added ones. Besides, some of them are not
intermediate
changes, because they do end up in the final version. for example in
hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c
In some places in the intermediate patches a warn_report_err() is added right
after
error_report(), both to be replaced with error_setg()/error_prepend() later in
the series.
Do you want to replace warn_report_err() everywhere with error_report_err()?
