The only ret which we can have here is -ENOMEM and as a rule we don't log
errors for those, because the kernel memory-management code already complains
loudly when this happens.

So IMHO this patch should be dropped.

I know. This is why I originally omitted the print. Besides, if the
memory is so low that devres adding fails - then we probably have
plenty of other complaints as well... But as Chanwoo maintains the
driver and wanted to have the print - I do not have objections to that
either. Maybe someone some-day adds another error path to wq
initialization in which case seeing it failed could make sense.

Fine for me - as well as keeping it. I have no strong opinion on this.

If it is the same handling way for -ENOMEM, don't need to add log ss Hans said.
Thanks for Hans.

So be it :)
Greg, can you just apply the patch 2/2 and drop this one? (There should
be no dependency between these) or do you want me to resend 2/2 alone?

I'll just take the 2/2 patch, thanks.
