Sure, I can avoid, as this is called from port representor creeation
function. I don't want to pass extack there (code is generic for VF and
SF, and VF call doesn't have extack).

We have this pattern in few place in code (using dev_err even extack can
be passed). Is it recommended to pass extact to all functions
which probably want to write some message in case of error (assuming the
call context has the extack)?
