Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: Do not output error on deferred probe

From: Thierry Reding <treding@...dia.com>

If the subdriver defers probe, do not show an error message. It's
perfectly fine for this error to occur since the driver will get another
chance to probe after some time and will usually succeed after all of
the resources that it requires have been registered.
