It's not obvious why this piece of change is needed. AFAICS it's a stray change.

It's hard to maintain and prone to subtle errors if we split
assignment and check, so please move assignment here.

       chip_info = i2c_get_match_data(client);

In such cases we usually use ENODEV.

With

  struct device *dev = &client->dev;

at the top of the function this and other statements become neater and
easier to follow. In particular, I believe this one may become a one
liner after the change.
