[PATCH] clocksource: timer-probe: change log level to info

[Moses Christopher]

  - In drivers/clocksource/timer-probe.c, the log level for the message
    stating "no matching timers found" should be informational rather
    than critical.

Thanks for the pointer.

Actually in most of the cases when there are no timers found after this
sequence it is because a definition is missing in the DT or the timer
was not able to initialize and we end up with a stuck board at boot time.

May be pr_warn would be more appropriate in this case.

However, if this omap board can boot without DT defined timers, does it
make sense to run the timer-probe code?
