You need to differentiate here between an error and not an error.
If the return value is an ENOMEM, then this is an error. Although
I think you should not return, but the message needs to be an
dev_err().

On the other hand, if the return value is a '0', then I think
dev_info() is correct.

Either remove the logging or make it correct.

One more note, the sentence "can't get pinctrl,... " sounds like
an error. If the pinctrl is not connected on your system, maybe
it's because your system is not designed to have recovery. Please
write a message that doesn't sound like an error (or suppress the
logging).

Thanks,
Andi
