[PATCH] fastboot: Fix has-slot command always returning yes for fb_nand

[PATCH] fastboot: Fix has-slot command always returning yes for fb_nand

[Chance Yang]

The issue was a mismatch in return value conventions between functions:
- getvar_get_part_info() expects >= 0 for success
- fb_nand_lookup() returns 0 on success, 1 on failure (from
  find_dev_and_part)

When partition didn't exist, fb_nand_lookup returned 1, but
fastboot_nand_get_part_info passed it directly to getvar_get_part_info,
which treated 1 >= 0 as success, causing has-slot to always return yes.

Fix by converting positive return values to -ENOENT in
fastboot_nand_get_part_info to match the expected error convention.

ret > 0 does not cover all the failure paths in fb_nand_lookup():

Inspecting fb_nand_loopup(), it can fail in 3 different ways.
In case of failure:

1. mtdparts_init(): returns 1
2. find_dev_and_part(): returns 1
3. dev->id->type != MTD_DEV_TYPE_NAND: returns -EINVAL

Right now, we only cover failure path 1. and 2.

Could we change this to:

if (ret)

Thanks,
Mattijs
