I think the goal here it to register as many of the edges as possible,
so we wouldn't necessarily want to abort if one of them fails. That's
why it's enough to check for only for a possible -EPROBE_DEFER first.
But more importantly after this series this is legacy code that exists
only for backwards compatibility with older DTBs. The probe function
won't be called for DTBs in mainline anymore. So I think it's not worth
to improve it much anymore. ;)
