Hi All,

Thanks for comments.

Changes since v7:
- improved commit message
- added R-Bs

Changes since v6:
- removed leftovers from old naming scheme in commit descritions,
- added R-Bs.

Changes since v5:
- removed patch adding macro, dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(ptr), ...) should be used instead,
- added dev_dbg logging in case of -EPROBE_DEFER,
- renamed functions and vars according to comments,
- extended docs,
- cosmetics.

Original message (with small adjustments):

Recently I took some time to re-check error handling in drivers probe code,
and I have noticed that number of incorrect resource acquisition error handling
increased and there are no other propositions which can cure the situation.

So I have decided to resend my old proposition of probe_err helper which should
simplify resource acquisition error handling, it also extend it with adding defer
probe reason to devices_deferred debugfs property, which should improve debugging
experience for developers/testers.

I have also added two patches showing usage and benefits of the helper.

My dirty/ad-hoc cocci scripts shows that this helper can be used in at least 2700 places
saving about 3500 lines of code.

Regards
Andrzej
