Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: use dev_err_probe() for reporting mdio bus registration failure
Date:   Wed,  1 Jun 2022 16:22:26 +0200
Message-Id: <20220601142226.1123110-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

I have a board where these two lines are always printed during boot:

   imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet: Cannot register the MDIO bus
   imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet: stmmac_dvr_probe: MDIO bus (id: 1) registration failed

It's perfectly fine, and the device is succesfully (and silently, as far
as the console goes) probed later.

Use dev_err_probe() instead, which will demote these messages to debug
level (thus removing the alarming messages from the console) when the
error is -EPROBE_DEFER, and also has the advantage of including the
error code if/when it happens to be something other than -EPROBE_DEFER.
