Sometimes the ->probe() function can be split to the core and actual probe
parts. In such cases the core one may return a pointer to the allocated
resource, or error pointer in unsuccessful scenario. Allow that kind of
core function to use dev_err_probe_ptr(), so the following excerpt

	ret = bar(...);
	if (ret) {
		dev_err_probe(dev, ret, ...);
		return ERR_PTR(ret);
	}

can be replaced with

	ret = bar(...);
	if (ret)
		return dev_err_probe_ptr(dev, ret, ...);
