Actually it's a bit more complicated, as some Ataris do have PCI (although
currently Atari Hades PCI support is broken).
How about this?
Looks better.

I guess pci_register_driver() failing is a fairly rare and catastrophical
event?

If not, atyfb_atari_probe() should probably continue if pci_register_driver()
failed.
