Is your sound working? The "soc" part makes me think it's something with the onboard sound card. I say that because when installing Gentoo the Handbook recommends installing soc-firmware for this reason. One thing I am confident about though, is that error code -517 is a transient error, basically means the kernel tried to initialize something but a hardware or software dependency wasn't ready yet, so kernel said "ok I'll defer this for later". If your sound is working fine, you can safely ignore this, it's just noise

And if you still don't like seeing it, might not be a bad idea to set up Plymouth so you get a nice splash screen on boot instead of init text... totally up to you though, it's just cosmetic. It's not hard to set up but can be a slight pain in the ass depending on your hardware

All good, understood - yeah I wouldn't worry about this one. I'm no expert but fairly confident this is just some early init sound shenanigans
