I think both are inappropriate here, -ENXIO is an IO failure
and -ENODEV is 'device is not here'. However, some people don't
like the use of things like -ENOENT (filesystem errors) for this
sort of situation. ENOTSUP might be something you could use.

As a note, both ENXIO and ENODEV will be taken by the device
framework as a device is not there at-all and not display any
error to the user (which is annoying if you then forget to
do anything about it)

As a note, you may want to have a look at devres to offload the
tracking of the requested and mapped resources.
