this would print "failed to create gpmc child" but we have already created
the gpmc child in the first of_platform_device_create() call.
A more appropriate message would be "failed to populate all children of child->name"

Also do you want to return failure?
it will result in of_node_put() of the child and another print message
about "probing gpmc child %s failed" in gpmc_probe_dt().

IMO if the GPMC node's child was created fine then we shouldn't return error.
