Suppress probe deferral error messages when loading topologies and

Note that dev_err_probe() is not used as the topology component can be
probed and removed while the underlying platform device remains bound to
its driver.
I'm not sure that I understand that argument... what's wrong with
dev_err_probe(tplg->dev, err, "ASoC: adding FE link failed\n");
instead of
dev_err(tplg->dev, "ASoC: adding FE link failed\n");
?
In short, it is not correct to use dev_err_probe() here as this is not a
probe function.
dev_err_probe() is tied to driver core and will specifically allocate
and associate an error message with the struct device on probe
deferrals, which is later freed when the struct device is bound to a
driver (or released).
I guess you mean call to: device_set_deferred_probe_reason(dev, &vaf);
perhaps functionality could be extended to allow to skip this call and
just do prints? Or just add separate dev_err_defer function without this
step, although it would be best if they could share parts of code.
