Check the return values of send_control() and send_line_coding() during
device initialization in gb_uart_probe(). If these operations fail, the
device will be left in an inconsistent state, so propagate the error to
properly fail the probe.
Both functions call gb_operation_sync() which can fail with errors such
as -ENOMEM, -ENODEV, or -ETIMEDOUT. Ignoring these errors means the TTY
device would be registered despite incomplete initialization.
