A similar patch was recently sent out against the pci-tegra driver. That
was perhaps the third time or so that it happened and both the Bjorn
(the PCI maintainer) and I have agreed multiple times in the past that
this isn't an actual improvement.
There are two reasons why I think this is actually worse than the
original: 1) this doesn't look like regular error handling and therefore
becomes more difficult to read and 2) if we ever need to add code
between the devm_of_phy_provider_register() and the final successful
return, we need to go and effectively revert this patch again.
I wonder if there's enough consensus that PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() is really
that useful.
