Print the port which is not found to be part of a bridge so it's easier
to investigate the underlying issue.

Was there an actual issue which was investigated here? More details?

Actually I would argue this is entirely confusing. There is an earlier
check:

	if (!bridge)
		return -EINVAL;

which did _not_ trigger if we're executing this. So the port _is_ a part
of a bridge. Just say that no FID is found for bridge %s (bridge->name),
which technically _is_ what happened.

Well, there are probably still several problems with this driver. Martin
Blumenstingl is probably referring to the problem discussed in [1] and 
[2].

Yes, you are right. I'll change that.

Ok, but that doesn't technically exercise this error path.
