Actually, If it was completely my call the probe would look something
like this:
+static int bd71837_i2c_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c,

+
+ board_info = dev_get_platdata(&i2c->dev);
+

+ else
+ gpio_intr = board_info->gpio_intr;
+
+ if (!gpio_intr)
+ goto err_out;
+
+ i2c_set_clientdata(i2c, bd71837);
+ bd71837->dev = &i2c->dev;
+ bd71837->i2c_client = i2c;
+ bd71837->chip_irq = gpio_intr;
+
+ errstr = "regmap initialization failed";
+
+ bd71837->regmap = devm_regmap_init_i2c(i2c, &bd71837_regmap_config);

+

+ ret = regmap_update_bits(bd71837->regmap,
+ BD71837_REG_PWRONCONFIG1,
+ BD718XX_PWRBTN_PRESS_DURATION_MASK,
+ BD718XX_PWRBTN_LONG_PRESS_10S);
+
+ errstr = "Failed to configure button long press timeout";

+ goto err_out;
+
+ btns[0].irq = regmap_irq_get_virq(bd71837->irq_data,

+

+

+ }
+
+ return ret;
+}
What do you think of this? To my eye it is nice. It keeps single point of
exit and introduces only simple if-statements without the need of curly
brackets. And finally the error prints string works as a comment too.
I've seen bunch of constructs like this on the networking side but I
have no idea if this is frowned on this subsystem =) Oh, and probe abowe
is just to illustrate the idea, I did not even try compiling it yet.
