hpd_notifier_get can fail only due to lack of memory for about 150 bytes
so if it happens whole system will probably fail anyway :)

Notifier is used only by CEC framework, so IMHO it would be desirable to
put CEC specific things into CEC framework.
Drivers duty is just to find notifier device.
Leaving it as is will just put little more burden on drivers, so this is
not big deal, do as you wish :)
