This is a bit confusing with how -ENODEV is generated - move the
assignment into the if statement so it doesn't look like we're silently
ignoring errors unless you look back to the top of the function.

It'd be clearer to just have all all these structs at the end of the set
of functions rather than scattered about randomly.
