[PATCH v2 2/2] mailbox: cix: fix DT property name string typo and use dev_err_probe()

From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167 at gmail.com>

cix_mbox_probe() logged property error messages referencing
"cix,mbox_dir" (with an underscore) instead of the actual DT property
string "cix,mbox-dir".

Fix the DT property string in error log messages and convert probe error
paths to dev_err_probe().
