Not sure we need the modernise bit of this.

Not sure we need to state too much about it here, but it does
some more useful stuff than suppressing the log.
Take a look at debug stuff for deferred probing.

Anyhow, this one looks fine to me though the true benefit only
comes when these all become direct returns with a full move to devm
based cleanup.
