Return value would give clear information about the actual root-cause

I'm not sure why that is as nearly every error path in
sdhci_add_host emits a message.


Not for everything.
No error message for -EPROBE_DEFER.

goto err_add_host;
}


If this is really desirable, there are many other callers of
sdhci_add_host with error messages just like this one.


Yes, true.
Ho about, adding pr_err into sdhci_add_host for -EPROBE_DEFER.

Thanks,
