Subject: [patch 010/176] hwmon: (applesmc) Relax the severity of device init failure

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@...omail.se>

commit 2344cd0c2e9ea8f3037be11fb997ddbeda0237ca upstream.

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.
