I like the previous "Error creating sysfs group for device" string better,
than "Error creating disk", because the latter one is much less informative.

do you want to do something like below?

int device_add_disk(struct device *parent, struct gendisk *disk,
...
if (attr_group) {
retval = sysfs_create_group(&disk_to_dev(disk)->kobj,
attr_group);

+ pr_err("Error creating sysfs group for device ...\n", ...);

if (retval)
goto fail;
}
