ok with me

I didn't find quite that many. Still close to 40 though.

I did this because it seems like we could be losing potentially losing
useful information when something goes wrong making it harder to
troubleshoot which function actually failed. But looking into it more,
the regulator functions already print errors for many of the error
paths, so printing more errors does seem a bit redundant. So I will
remove the dev_error_probe() in v2.
