Actually, If it was completely my call the probe would look something like this: +static int bd71837_i2c_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c, + const struct i2c_device_id *id) +{ + struct bd71837 *bd71837; + struct bd71837_board *board_info; + int gpio_intr = 0; + + const char *errstr = "No IRQ configured"; + int ret = -EINVAL; + + bd71837 = devm_kzalloc(&i2c->dev, sizeof(struct bd71837), GFP_KERNEL); + + if (bd71837 == NULL) + return -ENOMEM; + + board_info = dev_get_platdata(&i2c->dev); + + if (!board_info) + gpio_intr = i2c->irq; + else + gpio_intr = board_info->gpio_intr; + + if (!gpio_intr) + goto err_out; + + i2c_set_clientdata(i2c, bd71837); + bd71837->dev = &i2c->dev; + bd71837->i2c_client = i2c; + bd71837->chip_irq = gpio_intr; + + errstr = "regmap initialization failed"; + + bd71837->regmap = devm_regmap_init_i2c(i2c, &bd71837_regmap_config); + ret = PTR_ERR(bd71837->regmap); + if (IS_ERR(bd71837->regmap)) + goto err_out; + + errstr = "Read BD71837_REG_DEVICE failed"; + ret = bd71837_reg_read(bd71837, BD71837_REG_REV); + if (ret < 0) + goto err_out; + + errstr = "Failed to add irq_chip"; + ret = devm_regmap_add_irq_chip(&i2c->dev, bd71837->regmap, + bd71837->chip_irq, IRQF_ONESHOT, 0, + &bd71837_irq_chip, &bd71837->irq_data); + if (ret < 0) + goto err_out; + + errstr = "Failed to configure button short press timeout"; + ret = regmap_update_bits(bd71837->regmap, + BD71837_REG_PWRONCONFIG0, + BD718XX_PWRBTN_PRESS_DURATION_MASK, + BD718XX_PWRBTN_SHORT_PRESS_10MS); + if (ret < 0) + goto err_out; + + /* According to BD71847 datasheet the HW default for long press + * detection is 10ms.

To my eye it is nice. It keeps single point of exit and introduces only simple if-statements without the need of curly brackets. And finally the error prints string works as a comment too. I've seen bunch of constructs like this on the networking side but I have no idea if this is frowned on this subsystem =) Oh, and probe abowe is just to illustrate the idea, I did not even try compiling it yet.
