Subject: [PATCH] bus: mhi: host: Do not use uninitialized 'dev' pointer in
mhi_init_irq_setup()

In mhi_init_irq_setup, the device pointer used for dev_err() was not initialized. Use the pointer from mhi_cntrl instead.

Fixes b0fc0167f254 ("bus: mhi: core: Allow shared IRQ for event rings")
Fixes 3000f85b8f47 ("bus: mhi: core: Add support for basic PM operations")
