[PATCH v2 2/3] can: etas_es58x: use usb_cache_string() to retrieve the product info string

[Vincent Mailhol]

Instead of allocating memory ourselves and doing all the error
handling, rely on usb_cache_string(). This results in simpler code.

Make es58x_get_product_info() return void. The reason is double:

  1/ by using usb_cache_string() we do not know anymore the root cause
     (is it an allocation issue or input/output issue?)

  2/ Failling to get the product info is not critical. So it is OK to
     continue.
