If SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE is called when the mixer settings linking frontend and backend have not been setup yet this results in e.g. the following errors getting logged: [ 43.244549] Baytrail Audio Port: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for Baytrail Audio Port [ 43.244744] Baytrail Audio Port: ASoC: error at dpcm_fe_dai_prepare on Baytrail Audio Port: -22 pipewire triggers this leading to 96 repeats of this in the log after the user has logged into a GNOME session. IMHO userspace should not be able to get the kernel to spam dmesg like this. Lower the severity of the "no backend DAIs enabled" log message for dai-s with the dynamic flag set to avoid this. And also changes _soc_pcm_ret() to not log for -EINVAL errors, to fix the other error. Userspace passing wrong parameters should not lead to dmesg messages.
