[ Upstream commit 6309872413f14f3d58c13ae4dc85b1a7004b4193 ]
fw_devlink can sometimes try to create a device link with the consumer
and supplier as the same device. These attempts will fail (correctly),
but are harmless. So, avoid printing an error for these cases. Also, add
more detail to the error message.
Fixes: 3fb16866b51d ("driver core: fw_devlink: Make cycle detection more robust")
