I think so, yes. The probe will fail which causes the driver core to
report a message.

The scenario this triggers is if the acpi stuff doesn't have a mem
resource, which is a firmware bug, I think. It could get a dedicated
print if that is what you are thinking?

-	if (resource_size(&tpm_info.res) == 0)
+	if (tpm_info.res.flags == 0) {
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev, FW_BUG "no memory resource defined\n");
 		return -ENODEV;
+	}
 
 	if (is_itpm(acpi_dev))
 		itpm = true;

[resource_size is wrong as well since it will return 1 for
 0'd struct resource, sigh..]

Previously it would try to call devm_ioremap with start/len=0 as the
range which should also fails in broadly the same way. So this is just
moving the existing failure up.

Something was needed because the change to struct resource means the
new code would call devm_ioremap_resource with a 0'd resource struct,
which is not as safe as start/len=0 as before.
