[PATCH] counter: Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe()

[PATCH] counter: Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe()

[Pan Chuang]

Since commit 55b48e23f5c4 ("genirq/devres: Add error handling in
devm_request_*_irq()"), devm_request_irq() and devm_request_threaded_irq()
automatically log detailed error messages on failure. Remove the
now-redundant driver-specific dev_err() and dev_err_probe() calls.

I think you can drop the commit hash and title from the message.
Otherwise LGTM.

Seems OK, but probably be should be split into one patch per driver.
