Either ways are same. To be more readable/clear on error types for diff cases and errors that we are ignoring, I am explicitly keeping error codecs (EPROBE_DEFER/ENODEV/ENOMEM) same way.
Also in probe for readability checking with EPROBE_DEFER which explicitly indicating we keep deferring i2c probe rather than simple return.
