Hi Andi,
I'm not a big fan of this change. There is not much gain in polluting git bisect in order to shorten pdev->dev to a single dev. However, I like the /dev_err/dev_err_probe/. I will take the first two patches from this series, but I will leave this if anyone else has a stronger opinion. If you want, you can send just this one patch with just the dev_err_probe() change.
Thanks for taking the time to review my patch! Please take the first two patches, I don't plan to submit another patch that only modifies dev_err(). Best Regards, Qianfeng
