Thanks for pointing out how the return value is being handled by the callers.
However, the same check is missing in probe_get_default_domain_type():
static int probe_get_default_domain_type(struct device *dev, void *data)
{
        struct __group_domain_type *gtype = data;
        unsigned int type = iommu_get_def_domain_type(dev);
...
}

I personally prefer the old way instead of open coding with ternary
operator, so I'll do that in v2.

In practice, this causes a kernel panic when probing Realtek WiFi.
Because of the bug, dma_ops isn't set by probe_finalize(),
dma_map_single() falls back to swiotlb which isn't set and caused a
kernel panic.
I didn't attach the panic log because the system simply is frozen at
that point so the message is not logged to the storage.
I'll see if I can find another way to collect the log and attach it in v2.
