These make no sense to me :( -> just using dev_err_probe when there is
no chance of -EPROBE_DEFER ?

Well, this does not make sense from other point of view - memory
allocation errors should have any printks...
This patchset - like several others from Jinjie - is some sort of
automation without careful consideration and without thinking whether
code makes sense.
Therefore I suggest to review it thoroughly and do not trust the
"innocent" look of such changes.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
