Fix few format string issues in dtpm.c file,
- Extra trailing comma and space in the debug message "Registered
dtpm node '%s' / %llu-%llu uW, \n". This unnecessary trailing ", "
before the newline character, resulting an illusion of some more
message available for this under debug output.

- Incorrect log level for subsystem initialization failure message.
There is an error condition, not informational, and should be logged
at error level for consistency with other failure mssages. Changed
pr_info() to pr_err() for this subsystem initialization failure
message.

- The same error message "Failed to initialize '%s': %d" has missing
a trailing newline, which could cause log messages to be concatenated
incorrectly, making the logs harder to read.

These isseus affect log readability and consistency but do not impact
any functionality.

Please leave it as is.

Error-level messages in the kernel log are only useful if the
user/admin of the system can do something about them, but this doesn't
seem to be the case here.
