ENXIO means "No such device or address", looks alright to me ;-)

drivers will already be using if (IS_ERR()) construction, returning
-ENXIO when the API is disabled gives them an oportunity to *not*
request probe deferral since the API isn't enabled anyway.

if we return NULL we will need IS_ERR_OR_NULL() which will cause
problems with people who aren't careful enough.
