From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7c35e699c88bd60734277b26962783c60e04b494 ] If a device already has devres items attached before probing, a warning backtrace is printed. However, this backtrace does not reveal the offending device, leaving the user uninformed. Furthermore, using WARN_ON() causes systems with panic-on-warn to reboot. Fix this by replacing the WARN_ON() by a dev_crit() message. Abort probing the device, to prevent doing more damage to the device's resources.
