In the case when a codec device is probed before codec analog controls, snd_soc_register_card() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, resulting in a misleading error message sun4i-codec 1c22c00.codec: Failed to register our card even if the device is probed successfully later. Use dev_err_probe() to demote the above error to a debug message.
