Hi,

I'm not sure that this one makes a real sense for backport.

It can't hurt, but it does not fix a real issue, it just voids a potential spurious message.

In my original mail, there is no "stable@" or "fix" or "bug" keywords or "Fixes:" tag. There is also apparently no patch in this backport serie that relies on this patch.

Why has it been selected?

(same for 5.15 and 5.19)

     hwmon: (pmbus) Use dev_err_probe() to filter -EPROBE_DEFER error messages
[ Upstream commit 09e52d17b72d3a4bf6951a90ccd8c97fae04e5cf ] devm_regulator_register() can return -EPROBE_DEFER, so better use
     dev_err_probe() instead of dev_err(), it is less verbose in such a case.
It is also more informative, which can't hurt. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>
