Some of the platforms (like Tegra194 and Tegra234) have open slots and
not having an endpoint connected to the slot is not an error.
So, changing the macro from dev_err to dev_info to log the event.

Are you OK to take this change?

When this came up, Lorenzo was in the middle of a big move and I was
covering for him while he was unavailable.  But he's back, and I'm
sure he will resolve this soon.

Personally I'm OK either way.

Can we come to a conclusion on this?

We have tests that fail when errors/warning messages are reported. We can choose to ignore these errors, but given that this is not an error in this case, we were thinking it is better to make it informational.

Is there any hardware presence detect available to just avoid even
trying to bring a link up on an disconnected port?
