[PATCH 2/8] deep-probe: don't panic when device can't be created

[Ahmad Fatoum]

of_device_ensure_probed() already returns error codes, e.g. when
of_device_create_on_demand attempts recreating a device with the same name.
In some error cases though that shouldn't happen in normal operation,
of_device_create_on_demand() returns NULL, which triggers a panic.

During development, returning NULL can happen more often, so aborting
barebox startup is unnecessarily harsh. Follow-up commit will add other
ways for of_device_create_on_demand to return NULL, so the panic is even
more out of place. Let's just return a silent error code instead.
