I can not remember why the original code did return 0 rather than an error, but -ENOMEM seems indeed way more fitting.

If nouveau_get_backlight_name() fails then this should return -ENOMEM but currently it returns success.

This is from static analysis. In the original commit db1a0ae21461 ("drm/nouveau/bl: Assign different names to interfaces") then returning zero seemed to be a very deliberate choice. I do think it was wrong though and -ENOMEM is the currect return.
