Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] ipack: Fail earlier for drivers without probe function

A driver without a probe function isn't useful as it can never be used.
Let registering such a driver fail already instead of failing every
binding.

This is only cosmetic as there is no ipack driver without a probe function.
