Thanks for the patch but this is intentional. Not a mandatory property. If you want, you could
do

if (ret && ret != -EINVAL)
	return dev_err_probe()

Not 100% sure if that is the proper error code but the goal is to only error out in case the
property __is__ present but wrong. However we are kind of relaxed with the above in IIO.
