Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()

This patch series makes driver_register() emit an error message and
return a failure code instead of triggering a BUG_ON()

I tried to make the error message more descriptive compared to v2 by
including the error of the failed bus registration in [3/3]. I'd be
happy to include some more context if you have further suggestions.

  driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()
  driver-core: record error on bus registration
  driver-core: print bus registration error value
