Hi Prabhakar,

Thank you for the patch.

The code looks good to me. You may want to mention in the commit subject
that the probe error is turned into a warning, but that may be hard to
do on a single line. Splitting this in two patches could be best, but is
not worth a new version if it's the only change required. If more
changes are required, you can consider it.
