Blank line here between declaration and code.

Better to write it like this:
int ipack_driver_register(struct ipack_driver *edrv)
{
	edrv->driver.bus = &ipack_bus_type;
	return driver_register(&edrv->driver);
}

Wouldn't probe() return zero or a negative error code?

Just return directly here.  I was expecting a reason for a goto but
a nonsense goto is misleading.
