[ Upstream commit a787e5400a1ceeb0ef92d71ec43aeb35b1fa1334 ]
During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error. This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only partially. dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call, so code: if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER) dev_err(dev, ...); return err; becomes: return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);
