If an i2c access through i2c-cros-ec-tunnel returns an error, the following
log message is seen on the console.

cros-ec-i2c-tunnel ff200000.spi:ec@0:i2c-tunnel:
			Error parsing EC i2c message -121

This can happen a lot if, for example, the i2c-detect command is executed.

Since it is perfectly normal for an i2c controller to report an error,
drop the message. Also, report -ENXIO instead of -EREMOTEIO if the access
error is due to NAK from the device, and return -EIO instead of -EREMOTEIO
for unknown errors, as suggested in Documentation/i2c/fault-codes.

v2: Drop message entirely instead of replacing it with dev_dbg,
    and return -EIO instead of -EREMOTEIO for unknown errors.

IMHO this should continue to be checking (resp->i2c_status &
EC_I2C_STATUS_ERROR).  There is no guarantee that all future status
bits will be errors but that #define should continue to be updated to
be all bits that are errors:

/* Any error */
#define EC_I2C_STATUS_ERROR (EC_I2C_STATUS_NAK | EC_I2C_STATUS_TIMEOUT)

Personally I wouldn't expect an i2c timeout and I would love i2c
timeouts to continue to be noisy.  ...but if others don't feel the
same way then I don't feel strongly.

Obviously NAKs shouldn't be noisy.  I'm terribly surprised that they
were before.  I know I've run i2cdetect before and not seen the noise.
Ah, I see.  Looks like this noisiness was introduced in commit
a841178445bb ("mfd: cros_ec: Use a zero-length array for command
data")

Ok, makes sense. I'll resubmit.
