  5013	 * dev_err_probe - probe error check and log helper
  5014	 * @dev: the pointer to the struct device
  5015	 * @err: error value to test
  5016	 * @fmt: printf-style format string
  5017	 * @...: arguments as specified in the format string
  5018	 *
  5019	 * This helper implements common pattern present in probe functions for error
  5020	 * checking: print debug or error message depending if the error value is
  5021	 * -EPROBE_DEFER and propagate error upwards.
  5022	 * In case of -EPROBE_DEFER it sets also defer probe reason, which can be
  5023	 * checked later by reading devices_deferred debugfs attribute.
  5024	 * It replaces the following code sequence::
  5025	 *
  5026	 * 	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
  5027	 * 		dev_err(dev, ...);
  5028	 * 	else
  5029	 * 		dev_dbg(dev, ...);
  5030	 * 	return err;
  5031	 *
  5032	 * with::
  5033	 *
  5034	 * 	return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);
  5035	 *
  5036	 * Using this helper in your probe function is totally fine even if @err
  5037	 * is known to never be -EPROBE_DEFER.
  5038	 * The benefit compared to a normal dev_err() is the standardized format
  5039	 * of the error code, which is emitted symbolically (i.e. you get "EAGAIN"
  5040	 * instead of "-35"), and having the error code returned allows more
  5041	 * compact error paths.
  5042	 *
  5043	 * Returns @err.
