From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

[ Upstream commit 434ac4d51407ce3764a6ae96a89d90b8ae2826fb ]

Currently when pointer scp is null a dev_err is being called that
references the pointer which is the very thing we are trying to
avoid doing. Remove the extraneous error message to avoid this
issue.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 63c13d61eafe ("remoteproc/mediatek: add SCP support for mt8183")
