Some part of the configuration are not touched after the probe and if something goes wrong on writing the initial one, the chip will misbehave. Adding an error checking ensures that the inital configuration will be written correctly. Moreover ensures that a sensible configuration will be saved in driver data and used subsequently as intended.
