On a PC Engines APU our admins are faced with: $ dmesg | grep -c "gpio-keys-polled gpio-keys-polled: unable to claim gpio 0, err=-517" 261 Such a message always appears when e.g. a new USB device is plugged in. Suppress this message which considerably clutters the kernel log for EPROBE_DEFER (i.e. -517). Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, there are a few other exit paths that could use dev_err_probe(), but IIRC Dmitry isn't a fan of using dev_err_probe() where the return value cannot be EPROBE_DEFER, so I'm only changing this one error path.
