We do not want to return error here, because it will abort probe, and
then we will not be able to initiate firmware flash flow so we can
attempt to recover the device.

If you want to try you can change the ts->iap_mode before trying to
register input device, but then you need to be very careful about
registering and unregistering it later, after flashing or re-flashing
firmware.
