[PATCH] Input: Remove dev_err_probe() if error is -ENOMEM

From: Xichao Zhao <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-21 09:48:05
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, qnap mcu driver, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Heiko Stuebner, Linus Torvalds

The dev_err_probe() doesn't do anything when error is '-ENOMEM'.
Therefore, remove the useless call to dev_err_probe(), and just
return the value instead.
