I would also say that whenever you return an error code, it would be a good idea to replace the dev_dbg with dev_err. It should just rarely occur to have such errors, and if memory consumption is no issue, then I don't see a valid reason to go the full way of recompiling, getting the new kernel(-module) on the device and maybe even reboot.
