I rather don't want to add error checking to stuff that doesn't do it today. The sysdev stuff never had that forced checks, but the normal device stuff has.
I think the force return value check is really a pretty misguided idea in general, and it's up to the caller to do these checks and handle rollbacks, not the driver core, I think.
Can't we just remove that forced check?
