Subject[PATCH v2 1/3] driver core: add probe_err log helper
Date
During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for error
printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error. This
pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource acquisition
code, as a result it is often omited or implemented only partially.
probe_err helps to replace such code sequences with simple call, so code:
if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
dev_err(dev, ...);
return err;
becomes:
return probe_err(dev, err, ...);

v2:
- added error value to log message,
- fixed code style,
- added EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL,
- Added R-B by Javier (I hope the changes did not invalidate it).
