Hm. The upstream code does already print the error. This feature is not removed. But it is also printing an error in the EPROBE_DEFER case as well, where it is not needed or not an error.
It seems you missed I'm printing also error _value_.
Indeed.
Well, usually there is no error so adding the error number is not of much use (except for debugging)... The most likely one seems to be -EPROBE_DEFER.
On the omap5 boards where I have seen the error message being printed they were EPROBE_DEFER.
So your proposal changes the subject (which has a very small focus).
The rest of discussion would need disassembly and I'll do it once I'll be waiting for yet another long run recompile.
:)
BR and thanks, Nikolaus
