I think that switching to software_debounce silently is exactly the
intended/desired behavior of gpio-keys (and other drivers). For example,
if the DT requests a 20ms debounce on a gpio-key, the existing math
resulted in a hardware debounce of just 2ms. With the error return,
gpio-keys would silently switch to software_debounce of the requested
20ms (potentially longer if the CPU is busy, but I don't think that's
a problem for correctness), exactly what the DT asked for.
Of course that would be a change in behavior for any such existing DT,
and it's conceivable that the DT for some HW is somehow relying on that
previous incorrect behavior. I suspect it's more likely that they are
silently broken, and no-one has noticed. A quick search of some in-tree
DTs finds most debounce times are 5ms (which has no issue), and then
these three examples (all happen to be gpio-keys):
am335x-shc.dts: debounce-interval = <1000>;
am335x-shc.dts: debounce-interval = <1000>;
omap5-uevm.dts: debounce_interval = <50>;
The first two currently result in a HW debounce of about 4ms. The
third would be 2.5ms, except it's the wrong property name so it
does nothing (it gets the default gpio-keys debounce of 5ms).
Not having seen any of that hardware, I can't say for certain what the
true HW requirements are. 1000ms does seem like a long debounce, perhaps
the author meant 1ms (1000us) for those buttons? Or perhaps it really
needs a 1000ms debounce, and is currently wrong?

Given the above, I personally feel that a dev_err() is undesirable in most
cases. If I have a system and matching DT that just happens to need a longer
debounce than the GPIO HW is capable of, gpio-keys (etc) does the best it can automatically. I don't consider that there is any error in that case, or
anything to be fixed.
I can understanding wanting to draw attention to a change in behavior (just
in case the DT is incorrect), but I'd personally lean towards dev_info() if
anything.
That said: if you still prefer dev_err(), I will certainly do so.
Tangent:
This discussion makes me think that adding a gpiod_get_max_debounce()
would allow even better behavior. Then asking for a too-high debounce
could be a dev_err() in all gpio drivers, with the expectation that no
driver should ask for such. Also, drivers could do something like use
max hardware debounce plus a software debounce for the remaining time,
in order to avoid CPU overhead on short glitches.
