Hi Ariel Bar David. 


I don't know why I had failed to answer to you before :-(

Unfortunately nothing useful found there (as you can see I already attached similar output from the low level tool).

After tinkering little bit more I had found that there are similar bugs about this issue like (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900244[1]  ) and at least at least for Transcend drives they say : 


"Why does the Number of Error Information Log Entries in the SMART values increase along with the number of times the computer is turned on and off?"


"Due to the fact that some platforms send non-NVMe command signals to the SSD, the Number of Error Information Log Entries in the SMART values of the SSD continues to increase. Error notification messages even appear on the screen when booting.
The counting of this value will not cause any impact on the use of the SSD. Customers may use it with peace of mind. "
 
Unfortunately I don't have coreboot, but rather a standard UEFI that at least for now don't have new versions for their system (checked via LVFS).
