Sure, that's one way to look at it, but it's suspicious looking when
there is a direct return which is surrounded by gotos.  As I write this,
I remember that Smatch has a warning for code like that.

Probably we should add a comment to say:

	/* Return -ENODEV if the property 'pinctrl-0' is not present. */
