The dev_err_probe() has (at least) following benefits over dev_err()
when printing an error print for a failed function call at a device
driver probe:
- Omit error level print if error is 'EPRBE_DEFER'
- Standardized print format for returned error
- return the error value allowing shortening calls like:
if (ret) {
dev_err(...);
return ret;
}
to
if (ret)
return dev_err_probe(...);
Convert the ROHM BD718x7 regulator driver to use the dev_err_probe() when
returned error is not hard-coded constant.
NOTE:
This commit also changes the error handling path to return immediately
from a spot where the error is spotted instead of using a single point
of exit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
