Hi Yang,

Thank you for your patch,

If we look at the input tree, we can see that there is no occurence of
dev_err_probe():

$ ~/src/linux/drivers/input/ 483fed3b5dc8 grep -rsn dev_err_probe
$ ~/src/linux/drivers/input/ 483fed3b5dc8

The reason for this is that the input maintainer (Dmitry) dislikes
dev_err_probe() as he stated in [1]

So I don't think he will apply this.

Mattijs
