A single patch might be difficult to accept for all components, a each
maintainer will probably want to have a say on their subsystem?

I would suggest to split these for a non-RFC version; a this will really
need to be case-by-case handling.

(English does not parse here for me)

I've only commented a couple of places in the code itself, but this
doesn't seem to add much support for errors, just sweep the problem
under the rug.

This function handles errors, I would recommend returning the error as
is if soc_device_match returned one so the probe can be retried later.

Same, return the error.
Assuming an error means no match will just lead to hard to debug
problems because the driver potentially assumed the wrong device when
it's just not ready yet.

I'm not sure what you intended to do, but !match1 already means there is
no error so the original code is identical.

In this case ipmmu_device_is_allowed does not allow errors so this is
one of the "difficult" drivers that require slightly more thinking.
It is only called in ipmmu_of_xlate which does return errors properly,
so in this case the most straightforward approach would be to make
ipmmu_device_is_allowed return an int and forward errors as well.

This is going to need quite some more work to be acceptable, in my
opinion, but I think it should be possible.
