[PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Silence remoteproc probe deferral prints

[PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Silence remoteproc probe deferral prints

[Bjorn Andersson]

Upon failing to resolve the remoteproc phandle one ath11k_dbg() and one
ath11k_err() is used to tell the user about the (presumably) temporary
failure.

Reduce the log spam by removing the duplicate print and switching to
dev_err_probe(), in line with how ath12k handles this error.

I'd like to think this doesn't really change the behavior, but I'd rather
see this that in-house print functions..

If the rproc handle is unavailable at this point, we undo quite a bit of work
in .probe.. would it make sense to move this check way above?

I'm having problems parsing your sentence. Are you saying you rather see
us keep using the ath11k_* functions?

Given that devlink doesn't covers this, but presumably cover several of
the above resources, I think that would make sense. It would be a
separate patch regardless...
