Use dev_err_probe() to simple code.

I applied the first two patches of the series, but I am holding back this
and the subsequent patches since I don't know how the kernel handles having
two drivers in a single module, and one of them fails to instantiate. I did
not find a matching example elsewhere in the kernel. We may have to use
the method used by the st_lsm6dsx driver - essentially splitting the driver
into three parts (i2c, i3c, and common). That would be overkill; the alternative
might be something like the approach used by module_i3c_i2c_driver(), but with
a set of #ifdefs around (some of) the i3c code.
