[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 1/3] driver core: Make dev_err_probe() silent for -ENOMEM

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Tue Jul 30 2024 - 08:50:34 EST


From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2f3cfd2f4b7cf3026fe6b9b2a5320cc18f4c184e ]

For an out-of-memory error there should be no additional output. Adapt
dev_err_probe() to not emit the error message when err is -ENOMEM.
This simplifies handling errors that might among others be -ENOMEM.
