From: Yuval Mintz Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:05:01 +0000 (+0300) Subject: bnx2x: Prevent probe as early as possible X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f587f1bfb1fb15d9ebd94c565dd11ae6d4e03b6;p=linux-beck.git bnx2x: Prevent probe as early as possible It's possible that due to errors [either on PCI or on device itself] registers reads would fail, returning all-Fs. This adds a check as early as possible so that driver will not read junk values and make incorrect probe decisions according to them; instead, gracefully fail the probe.
