It's still possible to have other errors here benignly [1] (however 
questionable the underlying reason), and this has always been a 
dev_dbg(), it's just getting shuffled around again. The aim here is to 
carry on removing cruft to work towards getting rid of this 
iommu_probe_device() call altogether since it's fundamentally wrong, so 
I'm not inclined to add anything new or spend too much effort polishing 
code I still want to delete.

Again, mostly because that's how it was written in 2014, same reason I'm 
not deduplicating the redundant space despite it still being the tiniest 
bit irritating. If you make me think about it, though, I suppose when 
both outcomes are otherwise equally weighted it does seems natural to 
consider "success" before "failure", thus the condition tests for success.

Thanks,
Robin.
