V4L/DVB (13224): pvrusb2: Improve diagnostic info on driver initialization failure
It used to be that the only real detectable reason for the driver to fail during initialization would be that if the hardware is simply jammed. However with the advent of the sub-device mechanism in V4L it is possible now to detect if a sub-device module fails to load successfully. The pvrusb2 driver does in fact react to this by also (correctly) failing, however the original diagnostic message "hardware is jammed" was still being reported. This misleads the user because in fact it might not actually be a hardware failure. This change adds logic to tell the difference and then report a more appropriate message to the kernel log.
