Subject: [PATCH] i2c: stm32: remove unnecessary DMA kernel error log

We currently print errors twice when there is an actual error
when requesting a DMA channel, once in stm32f7_i2c_probe()
when stm32_i2c_dma_request() fails and once more in
stm32_i2c_dma_request() itself. stm32_i2c_dma_request() is only
called from stm32f7_i2c_probe(), so we could drop the duplicate
error message.

This has the effect that we no longer warn about absence of a
DMA channel. This is intended as it is not mandatory for the
i2c-stm32 devices to have DMA enabled.  Also, the overall number
of DMA channels on the STM32 is limited and has to be shared
with other peripherals. This may lead to DMA being intentionally
off for specific devices.

This patch removes the unnecessary error message.

Fixes: e07a89775c71 ("i2c: stm32: don't print an error on probe deferral")
