Do you mean to convert it to the following?

    if (ret)
        return dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, ret, "can't claim irq\n");

I understand that the style of error message printed by dev_err_probe is like
"error [ERRNO]: [customized message]", the [ERRNO] comes from 2nd parameter,
[customized message] comes from 3rd paramter, if the original [customized message]it
also print ERRNO, i intend to remove it in this patch, otherwise, I will just keep it.
In the above code, [customized message] intend to print irq but return value, so it is
better to keep the original message, right?

Thanks.
