[PATCH 3/3] pmdomain: rockchip: do not report probe deferral of a domain as an error

When a power domain clock is not available yet,
rockchip_pm_add_one_domain() records the reason with dev_err_probe() and
returns -EPROBE_DEFER, but its callers rockchip_pm_domain_probe() and
rockchip_pm_add_subdomain() still print it with dev_err():

  rockchip-pm-domain ...: failed to handle node power-domain: -517

once per probe attempt, and twice for a nested domain. On an RK3588
board whose NPU domain clock appears late this is more than 20 error
lines before the domain finally probes.

Only rockchip_pm_add_one_domain() can return -EPROBE_DEFER here, and it
already records the deferral reason, so skip the message in the callers
for -EPROBE_DEFER and keep it for real errors. dev_err_probe() is not
used in the callers because it would replace the reason recorded for
/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred ("failed to get clk at index 1") with
the less specific "failed to handle node power-domain".

Fixes: 7c696693a4f5 ("soc: rockchip: power-domain: Add power domain driver")
Fixes: 6be05b5ec161 ("soc: rockchip: power-domain: add support for sub-power domains")
