The %pe which I changed it to is a cool new thing that prints:

	failed to retrieve reset controller: -EINVAL\n

We should create a similar %e printk format that works for ints instead
of error pointers.  But instead of that you have people who cast error
codes to pointers just to get the %pe functionality.  And other people
who make suggestions (this is the catagory that I'm in) but are too lazy
to do the actual work.
