This isn't an error of any kind, and certainly not something that
deserves a warning in the system log on every probe. Not everyone cares
about the GPIO interface.

And while printing this mask has some worth I'm still reluctant to be
spamming the logs with it. Just like gpolib has a dev_dbg() for
registering chips, this should probably be demoted to KERN_DEBUG as
well.

And again, this is not something that belongs in the logs of just about
every system with an attached ftdi device.

While not possible to combine with the valid_mask approach, this is
something which we could otherwise add to the request() callback for the
first request that fails due to the mux configuration.
