[PATCH 1/3] mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Use pr_err() in some places

info->controller.active is not initialised so the dev_err() call ends up
dereferencing a null pointer causing a crash instead of outputting the
error. Use pr_err() instead as there isn't a convenient dev in the
places info->controller.active->mtd.dev was being used.

Fixes: 661c98121d49 ("mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Fix not calling dev_xxx with a device")
