Use the dev_err_probe function instead of dev_err in the probe function so that the printed messge includes the return value and also handles -EPROBE_DEFER nicely. NOTICE: dev_err_probe always print the second parameter that happens to be the return value, hence the return errno will be removed from the third parameter to avoid a redundant error message. v3: Convert all dev_err() in synquacer_i2c_probe() to dev_err_probe() even if the return value is known to never be -EPROBE_DEFER. v2: 1. Convert all dev_err() in lpi2c_imx_probe(), synquacer_i2c_probe(), mlxbf_i2c_probe() to dev_err_probe(). 2. Add Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.
