Uwe Kleine-König 532888a595 driver core: Better advertise dev_err_probe()
Describing the usage of dev_err_probe() as being (only?) "deemed
acceptable" has a bad connotation. In fact dev_err_probe() fulfills
three tasks:

 - handling of EPROBE_DEFER (even more than degrading to dev_dbg())
 - symbolic output of the error code
 - return err for compact error code paths

Advertise these better and claim the usage to be "fine" to get rid of
the bad connotation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
