As below. I think dev_err() is appropriate.

Why warn? If this happens it's definite and error and may bite us later.

Maybe it is worth trying to surface the error if nothing else has already gone wrong. That is a little fiddly
to do but something like

	if (cleanup_ret) {
		dev_err()
		ret = ret ?: cleanup_ret;
	}

I'm not sure it is worth the complexity however, so perhaps see if others have comments on this
in next few days before spinning a v3.

Thanks,
