errors at startup & failure to recognize Samsung EVO 960

[ghost]

The issue is that the gsmartcontrol (istalled with apt-get on Ubuntu 20.04, version: 1.1.3) produces lots of errors at runtime, which are outputted to the console. It also fails to parse the "Samsung EVO 960" smart status (which I believe is a quite popular budget SSD).

The error messages are harmless and have been mostly fixed in git main.
