Ohh right... Mentioning this particular log change in the commit message would
avoid my question. Also, note that you're still doing:

ret = ad7173_get_ref_voltage_milli(st, ref_sel);
if (ret < 0)
	return ret;

instead of:

return ad7173_get_ref_voltage_milli(...)

which defeats the purpose of having the log inside
ad7173_get_ref_voltage_milli() 

But after stepping back I see ad7173_get_ref_voltage_milli() is also being used
in a non probe path. Hence, doing the log out of the function using
dev_err_probe() may be reason enough to keep things as you had before my
comments. Will leave that up to you (sorry for the noise).
