[2/2] net: fec: Improve logging

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

In case the request of the GPIO reset fails it is interesting to log
such error even if DEBUG is not enabled, so promote the message to dev_err.

Shouldn't dev_dbg be more like a equivalent of pr_debug?  The reason
why it's taken as a debug message rather than an error is that some
board design may not have reset line for phy.

If a board does not have a reset line for the PHY then it will not try
to request the GPIO as per patch 1/2 of this series.

I sent a v2 with dev_dbg, but I think that the first version with
dev_err is more useful.

Argh, yes, you're right.  The pr_debug makes no sense any more with the
first patch in place, and it should become a error message.  But they
should be one patch rather than a series to make the most sense, IMO.
