If we cannot create the ALSA mixer, it is a good reason to fail to load the volume subdriver, and not to fail to load the entire module. While at it, add more debugging messages, as the error paths are being used a lot more than I'd expect, and it is failing to set up the ALSA mixer on a number of ThinkPads.
