Separate patch for this along with the removal of dev_err() at
devm_request_threaded_irq(), see below.

Given the amount of &pdev->dev calls, it would be a good idea to introduce a
local `struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;` in a separate patch which would go
before the dev_err_probe() patch.

Remove this, platform_get_irq() already prints an error message, keep
the original.

You only need to return ret here, devm_request_threaded_irq() already
prints an error message on failure. Separate patch for the removal please
(ideally the first patch in your series to reduce churn).

Also, you've missed an additional dev_err() in the iio_device_register()
check, you can change that one as well.
