If the ->probe() function returns a negative error code, the driver
core will not invoke the corresponding ->remove() callback.

Looks like you may want to double check that ->probe() doesn't return
0, even in case of failure.

According to my comment above. You should not reach this point, unless
->probe() was successful and returned 0.
