The current error handling for calls such as devm_clk_get_enabled() in
the adi-axi-adc probe() function means that, if a property such as
'clocks' (for example) is not present in the devicetree when booting a
kernel with the driver enabled, the resulting error message will be
vague, e.g.:

adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: probe with driver adi_axi_adc failed with error -2
Change the devm_clk_get_enabled(), devm_regmap_init_mmio(), and
devm_iio_backend_register() checks to use dev_err_probe() with some
context for easier debugging.

After the fix:

adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: error -ENOENT: failed to get clock
adi_axi_adc 44a00000.backend: probe with driver adi_axi_adc failed with error -2

Somehow feel that in these cases the error log should come from the functions we're
calling but bah... likely not going happen/change:

(As a suggestion, you may do similar work in the axi-dac driver)

Thanks. I'll send that early next week after a quick test on a board.
