[PATCH] iio: dac: adi-axi-dac: improve probe() error messaging

[Trevor Gamblin]

The current error handling for calls such as devm_clk_get_enabled() in
the adi-axi-dac probe() function means that, if a property such as
'clocks' (for example) is not present in the devicetree when booting a
kernel with the driver enabled, the resulting error message will be
vague, e.g.:

|adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: probe with driver adi_axi_dac failed with error -2

Change the devm_clk_get_enabled(), devm_regmap_init_mmio(), and
devm_iio_backend_register() checks to use dev_err_probe() with some
context for easier debugging.

After the change:

|adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: error -ENOENT: failed to get clock
|adi_axi_dac 44a00000.dac: probe with driver adi_axi_dac failed with error -2
