[PATCH 1/2] leds: gpio: Add kernel log if devm_fwnode_gpiod_get fails

In case leds-gpio fails to get the GPIO from the DT (e.g. the GPIO is
already requested) the driver doesn't provide any helpful error log:

    leds-gpio: probe of leds failed with error -16

So add a new error log in case devm_fwnode_gpiod_get() fails.
