It got added in 5.8.

Makes sense. I suppose dev_err_probe could be used within the
framework(s) and is still useful for those resource frameworks not
having _optional variants.

FYI: There is a bunch of dev_err_probe for all kind of drivers
being send out at the moment. I already received quite a few
for the power-supply subsystem. Be prepared for conflicts.

If this is about this specific instance: No hard feelings, I
only cleaned up the driver a bit while adding new features
and being able to easily test the cleanups on real HW. With
some luck patch 4/4 applies without this one.
