Ah yes, sorry, that makes it uglier :(
Point is, it does not make sense to me to have of/acpi_dma_configure()
check a return code with (IS_ERR()) whilst we know the only error
code you are allowed to handle is -EPROBE_DEFER, while at it it is
better to make the -EPROBE_DEFER check explicit (otherwise it may
seem that of/acpi_dma_configure() can handle an error code that
is different from -EPROBE_DEFER - but they don't), no big deal either
way though.
