Assigning ret here won't do anything, will it?
You're right. I'll remove the assignment and just call dev_err_probe() directly.

I'd suggest to call pm_runtime_idle() after registering the async
sub-device to avoid doing this twice.
Thanks for catching this. I'll move pm_runtime_idle() after
v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() to avoid the potential double
power-off in the error path.

I'll send v2 with these fixes.

Best regards,
Xiaolei
