Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] media: uvcvideo: improve error logging in uvc_query_ctrl()

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@...all.nl>

Standard use of the driver may result in error messages on the kernel
ring buffer. This can hide other more important messages, and alert
unnecessarily the user. Let's keep dev_err() for the important
occasions.

If __uvc_query_ctrl() failed with a non -EPIPE error, then report that
with dev_err. If an error code is obtained, then report that with
dev_dbg.
