All true...but...if you look at the main scmi_probe() function all of these
failures are trapped at that level currently on the return path...
see the call chain from
scmi_probe()
....
ret = scmi_channels_setup(info);
...
...so your probe errors will be overridden there with a more generic message
left in debugfs at the top level.
Thanks,
Cristian
