Use dev_err_probe()
dev_err()

I believe this patch will make more sense before switching to local 'dev'
variable. Then the previous one will have an additional justification as
the "struct device *dev = ...;" lines in some cases will be added already
by this patch.

We don't issue the messages for -ENOMEM.

If it's in the current code, add a new patch to drop this message and return an
error code directly.

Perhaps, while at it, drop these ' < 0' parts where they are not hinting about
anything.
