[PATCH 0/6] ASoC: sunxi: Simplify error handling

[PATCH 0/6] ASoC: sunxi: Simplify error handling

[phucduc.bui]

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

Hi all,

This series improves probe error handling in the sunxi ASoC drivers.
It replaces suitable probe error paths with dev_err_probe() to
simplify the code and handle deferred probe errors consistently.
It also removes redundant error messages where the called helpers
already report failures, avoiding duplicate log messages.

Build tested only.

Besst regards,
Phuc

snd_dmaengine_pcm_register() doesn't seem to print an error when
dma_request_chan() fails.
