The code below was reachable if an error was returned from driver_match_device()
before this patch.  What's the reason for changing that?

Shouldn't the code here really be:

	ret = driver_match_device(drv, dev);
	if (!ret)
		return 0;

	if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
		driver_deferred_probe_add(dev);
		return ret;
	}

Same comment here, plus why do we return 0 at this point?
