The %pe format specifier is designed to print error pointers. It prints
a symbolic error name (eg. -EINVAL) and it makes the code simpler by
omitting PTR_ERR().

This patch fixes this cocci report:
./platform/renesas/vsp1/vsp1_drv.c:958:4-11: WARNING: Consider using %pe to print PTR_ERR()

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
