Subject: [PATCH v1] iio: magnetometer: ak8974: Silence deferred-probe error

It's not uncommon that voltage regulator becomes available later during
kernel's boot process, in this case there is no need to print a noisy
error message. This patch moves the message about unavailable regulator
to the debug level in a case of the deferred-probe error and also amends
the message with error code.
