Do not return both NULL and error pointers. The function is only documented as returning error pointers.

Do we really need this?
Who cares about the distinction?
Just returning NULL on any error makes the code so much simpler and easier to understand.
I'm fine with returning only NULL, or only ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) as done later in the function, but returning both makes the error handling in callers more complicated for no benefit. It sounds like you would prefer I change the later ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) to NULL instead of this change? I can do that for v2.
