Subject: [PATCH 1/2 (v2)] cxacru: Use appropriate logging for errors

When an error occurs, existing logging uses dbg() so the cause of a 
problem is hard to determine. Error conditions shouldn't only be 
properly reported with debugging enabled.

A side effect of this change is that when an uninitialised device 
is started, a log message similar to the following is sent:
	cxacru 5-2:1.0: receive of cm 0x90 failed (-104)
This is normal - the device did not respond so firmware will be 
loaded.

Ok.
