From a brief squint the patch seems to be reasonable.  But the
changelog is a bit mangled.  Perhaps you could have another go when
resending it.  Explan more clearly under what circumststances your
->set_type() implementation can fail and why you require the core code
to handle this.

Perhaps we want a dump_stack() on the error path so we can see who
goofed.  Or a print_symbol() of desc->chip->set_type.  Or perhaps not.

Did you check that all the current ->set_type() implementations are
returning zero?
