In case leds-gpio fails to get the GPIO from the DT (e.g. the GPIO is

So add a new error log in case devm_fwnode_gpiod_get() fails.
...
led.gpiod = devm_fwnode_gpiod_get(dev, child, NULL, GPIOD_ASIS,
NULL);
if (IS_ERR(led.gpiod)) {
+ dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(led.gpiod), "Failed to get gpio '%pfw'\n",
+ child);
fwnode_handle_put(child);
return ERR_CAST(led.gpiod);
}
Thinking more about it. GPIO library already issues bunch of messages.
"using DT ... for ... GPIO lookup"
"using lookup tables for GPIO lookup"
"No GPIO consumer ... found"
are these errors or debug messages?
I cannot remember that i saw any of them on info level in my case of an
already allocated pin (see patch 2).
I'm open to place the log within gpiolib, if this a better place.
Best regards
Isn't it enough?
