Definitely, it doesn't seem right to execute random stuff on hardware
where such stuff is undefined.

But the driver will register even though the call fails , that's wrong.
The probe must stop if there is a failure.

If something which should be present (like the acpi method) is not
present and/or fails, the driver probe should abort.
