Subject: [PATCH] mfd: lp87565: fix error handling while getting reset GPIO

If devm_gpiod_get_optional() returns an error the driver code just goes on,
soon using a pointer that holds an error. The only exception is
-EPROBE_DEFER which is correctly handled.

Fix and also simplify code by always calling dev_err_probe().
