While converting the error messages to the standard macros in the commit 4e76a8833fac ("ALSA: hda - Replace with standard printk"), a superfluous '-' slipped in the code mistakenly. Its influence is almost negligible, merely shows a dB value as negative integer instead of positive integer (or vice versa) in the rare error message. So let's kill this embarrassing byte to show more correct value.
