Sashiko has some comments on this:

I would note that in some paths error handling is best effort.
There isn't always a sequence that leaves us in a remotely
useful state.  So maybe what you have here is the best we can do
even though it is a bit crazy to expect the driver to do anything
useful if it can't power the device.

There is a question from sashiko on whether this can be reached. 
Even though that may be the case I'd keep the the error print because
it hardens us against future changes.
