If pinctrl is not available (thus devm_pinctrl_get() returns NULL) then recovery can't work, because we can't switch the I2C pins between the I2C controller and GPIO. So, it is quite correct to print "can't get pinctrl, bus recovery not supported" because the I2C bus can't be recovered without pinctrl. The PTR_ERR() is also fine - because if pinctrl is not present and returns NULL, we'll end up returning zero, which is exactly what we want. However, open code that with a more accurate message will be more explicit for NULL case when CONFIG_PINCTRL is not defined.
