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 lines getting logged after the user has logged into a GNOME session. Change the actual "no backend DAIs enabled for ... Port" error to dev_err_once() to avoid it getting repeated 48 times. While at it also improve the error by hinting the user how to fix this. To not make developing new UCM profiles harder, also log the error at dev_dbg() level all the time (vs once). So that e.g. dyndbg can be used to (re)enable the messages. Also changes _soc_pcm_ret() to not log for -EINVAL errors, to fix the other error getting logged 48 times. Userspace passing wrong parameters should not lead to dmesg messages.
