Generally speaking, if sysfs file creation went wrong, it's due to a bug.
The result is that the driver isn't working as intended: tunables or
instrumentation which it is designed to make available are not present. We
want to know about that bug asap so we can get it fixed.
Failing to init the fb is certainly a good way to make sure the problem
isn't overlooked, but perhaps a bit shy in the area of letting the user
find out what the error was. Perhaps a warning would be better.
