I'm not sure how interpret this message, but the problem here is the shadowing
of the original error code. Hence I would split this:

if (ret)
return ret; // possibly return dev_err_probe() with another message
if (reg >= chipdef->n_leds)
return dev_err_probe(dev, -EINVAL, "Invalid 'reg' property for node %pfw\n",
child);

return dev_err_probe(...);
