This commit just reshuffled around some existing code. The commit that
appears to have added this is actually b7c670d673d1 ("powerpc: Convert
to using %pOF instead of full_name").

The caller of this function (scom_debug_init()) uses a bitwise OR to
aggregate the return codes of multiple calls to scom_debug_init_one().
This doesn't really work for returning specific error codes, so I'd
just return -1 here (or change the way the return codes are handled on
the caller side).
