As you know, the return value of device driver's attach function is void. I've thought that we should change it to int for many years. I believe I'm not the only person. Sounds plausible to me. Can you draft an example of a patch to a driver that would usefully use this? Something to demonstrate how many untested code paths we can eliminate by moving conditional logic about `device failed to attach' to autoconf instead of copying it in drivers.
