Oh well, that's exactly what Hans' patch did originally, I changed it
to make the code more simple, but if you think it is better that way,
I'll revert this change of mine. Here you go:

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-qWit8jRvyhVmR6Xm/wNWPw@public.gmane.org>

Ensure that client->driver is set to NULL if the probe() returns an
error (this keeps client->driver and client->dev.driver in sync).
