[PATCH v1] thermal: brcmstb_thermal: Simplify with dev_err_probe()

dev_err_probe() is used to log an error message during the probe process 
of a device. 

It can simplify the error path and unify a message template.

Using this helper is totally fine even if err is known to never
be -EPROBE_DEFER.

The benefit compared to a normal dev_err() is the standardized format
of the error code, it being emitted symbolically and the fact that
the error code is returned which allows more compact error paths.
