I can try to do that, but it seems a little bit unintuitive.  Perhaps it 
would be easier for people to remember to put in error handling code when 
they need it if they always have to do it?  If I remove it, there will be 
one call that has no test and then another call a few lines later that 
does.

I saw it in Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt and then looked around 
for some examples.
