How much memory space does this guarantee?

Can you take this oppotunity to change to:
  if (!tps6586x)

I'm not keen on -ENOMEM prints, just return -ENOMEM and be done with it.

If you're going to do this, please change 'ret' to 'version'.

Why are you returning an error here when you have a valid enum of:
  TPS6586X_ANY	= -1,

I'd suggest pulling this out of probe() and into a separate subroutine.
