[PATCH v2 5/6] iio: light: stk3310: log error if reading the chip id fails

If the chip isn't powered, this call is likely to return an error.
Without a log here the driver will silently fail to probe. Common errors
are ENXIO (when the chip isn't powered) and ETIMEDOUT (when the i2c bus
isn't powered).
