[PATCH v3 1/3] HID: i2c-hid: Rely on HID descriptor fetch to probe

From: Kenny Levinsen
Date: Fri Apr 26 2024 - 18:58:13 EST


To avoid error messages when a device is not present, b3a81b6c4fc6 added
an initial bus probe using a dummy i2c_smbus_read_byte() call.

Without this probe, i2c_hid_fetch_hid_descriptor() will fail internally
on a bus error and log. Treat the bus error as a missing device and
remove the error log so we can do away with the probe.
