This warning is to catch developer's attention only. It's very
rare for pnv_pci_get_presence_state() to fail as it simply checks
hardware regiter bit (from Slot Status regsiter in PCIe capability
or PHB's Hotplug Override register) in the skiboot firmware.

User needs to retry the operation (hot-add or hot-remove) when
seeing this warning. Greg, please let me know if below message
is better?

dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "PCI slot [%s] error %d getting presence status on event 0x%04x, to retry the operation.\n",
         php_slot->name, ret, sts);

Thanks,
Gavin
