If going to use dev_err_probe() internally maybe can just use
devm_request_threaded_irq_probe() thus reflecting that and making
it different to the devm_request_threaded_irq()?

I'm not sure we need to call out the fact it prints an error message in
the naming.  Maybe the fact it should probably only be used in probe()
is the more relevant information?

Bikesheds should all be red!
