Ok.

The details are in the driver specific patches. Should I write it all down here too?

In that case we would have something like this:

    if (!bri->init_recovery)
        bri->init_recovery = i2c_gpio_init_recovery;

    ret = bri->init_recovery(adap);
    if (ret)
        return ret;

Since the callback is used only once, and within the same fuction where it is
assigned, I don't really see the advantage of the assignment. Although it
definitely looks cleaner as far as error handling is concerned.

Originally, I have used the following solution:

    if (bri->init_recovery)
        ret = bri->init_recovery(adap);
    else
        ret = i2c_gpio_init_recovery(adap);

    if (ret)
        return ret;

However the existing code ignores errors from i2c_gpio_init_recovery() except
EPROBE_DEFER, so I changed this to the code proposed in the patch in order to
keep the existing behaviour.
