No, please, the bus just doesn't exist - there's nothing wrong with that and there's
no reason to trigger an alarm for the user. Nothing out of the ordinary happened
here and the return value should be enough to tell the user what's up.

This will cause a perma-WARN for folks who have that bus built in but don't actually
have it on their system.

EAGAIN? For when a bus doesn't exist? How would a user retrying fix the issue?
