[PATCH v2] gpio: just plain warning when nonexisting gpio requested

From: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult
Date: Wed Dec 02 2020 - 08:40:44 EST


From: Enrico Weigelt <info@xxxxxxxxx>

When trying to export an nonexisting gpio ID, the kernel prints out a
big warning w/ stacktrace, sounding like a huge problem. In fact it's
a pretty normal situation, like file or device not found.

So, just print a more relaxed warning instead.

changes v2: drop defining pr_fmt()
