[PATCH] usb: typec: ucsi: Use %pe to print error pointers

[PATCH] usb: typec: ucsi: Use %pe to print error pointers

[Subasri S]

Use the %pe format specifier instead of %ld with PTR_ERR() for printing
error pointers in ucsi_register_plug(), ucsi_register_cable(), and
ucsi_register_partner(). This prints symbolic error names (e.g.
-ENOMEM) instead of errno numbers (e.g. -12), making debug logs more
readable.

This patch fixes coccinelle reported warnings:
./typec/ucsi/ucsi.c:1026:3-10: WARNING: Consider using %pe to print PTR_ERR()
./typec/ucsi/ucsi.c:1156:3-10: WARNING: Consider using %pe to print PTR_ERR()
./typec/ucsi/ucsi.c:967:3-10: WARNING: Consider using %pe to print PTR_ERR()
