There are quite a few instances of this dereference nest.
Unless other things come up in this set I don't mind it being dealt
with separately but to me it seems like a helper to make this
		ret = dev_err_probe(adi_sigma_delta_get_dev(&st->sd), -ENODEV,
might be nice?  Longer line but avoids diving into the implementation details
in a driver that shouldn't really be doing that.
