That is subjective. In my book dev_err_probe() handling -EPROBE_DEFER is
only one aspect. Another is that using it allows to have return and error
message in a single line and also that if already other exit paths use
it to get a consistent style for the emitted messages. Having said that
*I* wouldn't assume that the previous call might return -EPROBE_DEFER
just because dev_err_probe() is used.

Having said that, I also don't think there is much harm if someone
thinks that a given function (here devm_request_irq()) might return
-EPROBE_DEFER.

Just my 0.02€
