I did this because it may not be right to keep the boot constraints up for a
device that failed to probe. For example, a LCD screen may continue wasting
power if its device failed to probe. At least I would like to see a real case
where we don't want to remove the constraints here on probe failure.

Ack for every other comment you gave.
