Subject: Re: [PATCH] HID: hid-ntrig: fix the error handling code in
 ntrig_probe

The writable parameters are also settable as module parameters and I suspect are not really widely used. I used them for tuning the defaults and dealing with unreliable devices, not in the course of normal use.  So I agree creation of the sysfs nodes 
should not block probing and using the device.

Thank you for working on the error handling,
Rafi
