Subject: [PATCH v2] I2C: busses: i2c-eg20t Do not print error message in syslog if no ACK received

Revision 2:
	- delete the pch_err completly instead of changing to pch_dbg
	  because there is already a pch_dbg at the function who calls
	  pch_i2c_getack.
	- Fixed message line issue

Using the i2c-eg20t driver and call i2cdetect or probe on the bus,
the driver will print a lot of error messages if there was no ACK
received.

i2cdetect normally print a table with all the available devices. If there
is no device on the address, the table will be empty.
Currently with the i2c-eg20t driver, the table is not visible because
the error messages destroy the table.

Error message: pch_i2c_getack return -71

This patch prevent the driver to print the messages to syslog.
The pch_i2c_wait_for_check_xfer function is the only one who is
calling pch_i2c_getack, and there is already a dbg print if it fails,
so we can delete the pch_err in pch_i2c_getack completly.

Fixed print message to be a one liner so we can grep for the
error message.

Tested on Intel Atom E6xx and Eg20t Chipset.
