Returning PTR_ERR(edev) may make sense, but I don't think that adding a 
dev_err_probe() really helps.

devm_extcon_dev_allocate() can only return -EINVAL if it 2nd argument is 
NULL. It is trivial to see that it can't happen here, 
rockchip_usb2phy_extcon_cable is a global variable.

in all other cases, it returns -ENOMEM because of a failed memory 
allocation. In this case, usually it is not needed to log anything 
because it is already loud enough.

Just my 2c.
