Hello,

Ensure that all error handling branches print error information. In this
way, when this function fails, the upper-layer functions can directly
return an error code without missing debugging information. Otherwise,
the error message will be printed redundantly or missing.

There are more than 700 calls to the devm_request_threaded_irq method.
Most drivers only request one interrupt resource, and these error
messages are basically the same. If error messages are printed
everywhere, more than 1000 lines of code can be saved by removing the
msg in the driver.

This changes semantics because dev_err_probe() is only supposed to be
called in probe functions. Not sure about devm_request_threaded_irq, but
its friend request_irq is called in the setup_irq (or open IIRC)
callback of serial drivers.

While I assume changing to dev_err_probe is a result of my concern that
no error should be printed when rc=-EPROBEDEFER, my other concern that
adding an error message to a generic allocation function is a bad idea
still stands.

Best regards
Uwe
