This part caught my eye -- shouldn't the -ENODEV from init_imstt go
through the standard error with proper cleanup? (It seems like a leak
from my 30000 ft view, i.e. not sure about imsttfb_{probe,remove}
pairing.)

Shouldn't there be something like the diff below on top of the existing code?

Regards,
Michal
