Close, but now any error is treated as an -EPROBE_DEFER, e.g. -ENOMEM.
Please check which error code is returned for your corner case
and see if either the API should be changed to return -EPROBE_DEFER
instead or if you should translate only that error code on the consumer
side to -EPROBE_DEFER.

Thanks,
Ahmad
