I hadn't seen dev_err_probe...

Just FYI, I'm working on a different fix here which is to print errors
in the subsystems instead. We already do this for IRQs, so why not
everything else? The original reason was no resource is sometimes not
an error, but now we have *_optional calls to handle this case for
most all subsystems. It's a coccinelle script (hacked up from
platform_get_irq.cocci) to convert all the drivers.
