[PATCH 3/6] g_NCR5380: Check for chip presence before calling NCR5380_init()

[Ondrej Zary <linux@rainbow-software.org>]

Write and read back MODE_REG to check if the chip is really there
before doing more initialization.

This prevents hang when incorrect I/O address was specified by user (in
the most common case where no device is present there so all reads
result in 0xff).
