In the event that no channels (child nodes) are defined, the adc5 driver will provide a generic error message indicating that adc5_get_fw_data() returned -EINVAL. In all other error cases we get two error messages, one helpful and the generic one. Add a specific error message for the no channels case, and drop the generic one, in order to improve the generates log prints in both cases.
