All hi556_check_hwcfg() error-exit paths already log a detailed reason, logging a second generic "failed to check HW configuration" error is not useful, and in case of the fwnode check failing with -EPROBE_DEFER this is outright problematic flooding the log with: [ 6.336318] hi556 i2c-INT3537:00: failed to check HW configuration: -517 [ 6.339006] hi556 i2c-INT3537:00: failed to check HW configuration: -517 [ 6.346293] hi556 i2c-INT3537:00: failed to check HW configuration: -517 [ 6.356129] hi556 i2c-INT3537:00: failed to check HW configuration: -517 [ 6.380316] hi556 i2c-INT3537:00: failed to check HW configuration: -517 etc. The one exception to all hi556_check_hwcfg() error-exit paths already logging an error is on v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() errors. Make hi556_check_hwcfg() log an error in that case too and drop the duplicate "failed to check HW configuration" error logging.
