All ov08x40_check_hwcfg() error-exit paths already log a detailed reason, logging a second generic "failed to check hwcfg" error is not useful, and in case of the fwnode check failing with -EPROBE_DEFER this is outright problematic flooding the log with: [ 4.557059] ov08x40 i2c-OVTI08F4:00: failed to check hwcfg: -517 [ 4.559636] ov08x40 i2c-OVTI08F4:00: failed to check hwcfg: -517 etc. messages. The one exception to all ov08x40_check_hwcfg() error-exit paths already logging an error is on v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() errors. Make ov08x40_check_hwcfg() log an error in that case too and drop the duplicate "failed to check hwcfg: %d\n" error logging.
