There is currently a problem where, in the specific case of SMEM not initialized by SBL, any SMEM API wrongly returns PROBE_DEFER communicating wrong info to any user of this API. A better way to handle this would be to track the SMEM state and return a different kind of error than PROBE_DEFER. Rework the __smem handle to always init it to the error pointer -EPROBE_DEFER following what is already done by the SMEM API. If we detect that the SBL didn't initialized SMEM, set the __smem handle to the error pointer -ENODEV. Also rework the SMEM API to handle the __smem handle to be an error pointer and return it appropriately. This way user of the API can react and return a proper error or use fallback way for the failing API. While at it, change the return error when SMEM is not initialized by SBL also to -ENODEV to make it consistent with the __smem handle and use dev_err_probe() helper to return the message.
