Subject: [PATCH 02/11] hwmon: applesmc: Relax the severity of device init failure (rev2)

The device init is used to reset the accelerometer. Failure to reset
is not severe enough to stop loading the module or to resume from
hibernation.  This patch relaxes failure to a warning and drops
output in case of success.
