Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] dev_printk: add new dev_err_probe() helpers

From: Nuno Sa <nuno.sa@...log.com>

This is similar to dev_err_probe() but for cases where an ERR_PTR() or
ERR_CAST() is to be returned simplifying patterns like:

	dev_err_probe(dev, ret, ...);
	return ERR_PTR(ret)
or
	dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(ptr), ...);
	return ERR_CAST(ptr)
