[PATCH] usb: gadget: udc: core: Warn about failed to find udc

[Dejin Zheng]

If we do not warn here, the user may not know failed to
find udc class driver because it silently fails.
Let's print a warning in that case so developers find
these problems faster.

Isn't this going to cause a lot more messages than is really needed?

And as you have a device, shouldn't this be dev_warn()?

thanks,

I think this should not happen. here just for a gadget driver to find
an udc device by the same name. one driver only call this function once.
if it found, the udc device will bind this driver. otherwise, print this
warning.

I also searched for the caller of this function, For example:
gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store() and usb_composite_probe(), They also
failed silently without any warning messages for return error of
this function.

Sorry, my comments has some mistake. I did not have a device when the
gadget driver failed to find an udc device by the same name. I will
fix it on patch v2.
