Well, you did change it around so that we have the typical 'if (ret)' pattern.
But, honestly, that is also bringing an arguably useless helper. So, yes,
currently we are not doing the typical "check for errors first" pattern but I do
think that the code is perfectly fine and readable as it is.

It's also already pretty late in the review process of the series and there was
already some back and forth so to me, the above is really a minor detail and I'm
not keen on changing it at this stage (unless Jonathan really feels strong about
doing it).

I'll spin a v10 with your dev_err_probe() suggestion later today but at this
point I would prefer to not have to spin another one (afterwards) unless really
needed (meaning, not because of minor details).
