I think reason why we had these 2 different prints is for first
occurrence in "if" which may be not so serious we used to print with
dev_dbg and second occurrence in "else" is more serious issue which
was under dev_err.
It would be better to use mwifiex_dbg with DBG/MSG in"if" condition
instead of removing whole if/else.
