Drop the "if (!dev->platform_data)" check, this seems to be an attempt for allowing loading the driver on devices without devicetree stemming from the initial commit of the driver (with the presumed intention being the "return -ENODEV" else branch getting replaced with something else). With the new "linux,skip-init" and "linux,read-back-settings" properties the driver can actually supports devices without devicetree and this check no longer makes sense. While at it, also switch to dev_err_probe(), which is already used in various other places in the driver.
