It does make sense. Then we probably need to move all xenbus_read_unsigned
calls to the very beginning of the .probe, so no memory allocations are made
which will be useless if we return -ENXIO, e.g. something like

static int xenkbd_probe(struct xenbus_device *dev,
                   const struct xenbus_device_id *id)
{
     int ret, i;
     bool with_mtouch, with_kbd, with_ptr;
     struct xenkbd_info *info;
     struct input_dev *kbd, *ptr, *mtouch;

<read with_mtouch, with_kbd, with_ptr here>

if (!(with_kbd | with_ptr | with_mtouch))
         return -ENXIO;

Does the above looks ok?
