Subject: [PATCH 4.19 74/89] i2c: gpio: suppress error on probe defer

From: Hamish Martin <hamish.martin@...iedtelesis.co.nz>

commit 3747cd2efe7ecb9604972285ab3f60c96cb753a8 upstream.

If a GPIO we are trying to use is not available and we are deferring
the probe, don't output an error message.
This seems to have been the intent of commit 05c74778858d
("i2c: gpio: Add support for named gpios in DT") but the error was
still output due to not checking the updated 'retdesc'.
