Subject: [PATCH] i8042: Don't print an error message just because there's no chip

From: Peter Jones <pjones@...hat.com>

Some systems, such as EFI-based Apple systems, won't necessarily have an
i8042 to initialize. We shouldn't be printing an error message in this
case, since not detecting the chip is the correct behavior.

v2: Downgrade to pr_notice instead of pr_err.
