The Tegra serial driver always prints an error message when enabling the
FIFO for devices that have support for checking the FIFO enable status.
Fix this by only display the error message, when an error occurs.

The error message seems a bit confusing. I read this as meaning "FIFO
mode was expected to be enabled but wasn't" whereas this really seems to
mean that for some reason the FIFO enable timed out.

In the former case it sounds like a some configuration mismatch, while
it's really something that went wrong during the process of enabling the
FIFO mode.

So I wonder if this should perhaps be something like:

	dev_err(tup->uport.dev, "FIFO mode enable timed out\n");

or something along those lines.

That said, this is a pre-existing problem and it's a bit pedantic, so in
either case:

Yes good point. Maybe I should just ...

	dev_err(tup->uport.dev,
		"Failed to enable FIFO mode: %d\n", ret);

Then if it is updated to ever return anything other that -ETIMEDOUT we
are covered. I will send a V2.
