Returning -ENOMEM is just as reasonable as -ENODEV.  We're looking at
if ves1820_attach(), ves1x93_attach() or stv0299_attach() etc fail.
Memory allocation failures seem like the most common cause to me.

The FIXME also seems reasonable...  Just leave it as-is until someone
can address it properly.
