Driver core treats that as a matched probe failure and prints: | arm-ffa arm-ffa: probe with driver arm-ffa failed with error -95 That is noisy for a firmware interface that can be absent on otherwise valid systems. Driver core already treats -ENODEV and -ENXIO as quiet rejected matches, so translate only the early unsupported discovery cases to -ENODEV. Keep later setup failures unchanged so real FF-A initialisation problems are still reported as probe failures.
