[PATCH] axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for user errors

[Gabriel Shahrouzi <gshahrouzi@gmail.com>]

The axis-fifo driver performs a full hardware reset (via
reset_ip_core()) in several error paths within the read and write
functions. This reset flushes both TX and RX FIFOs and resets the
AXI-Stream links.

Allow the user to handle the error without causing hardware disruption
or data loss in other FIFO paths.

Fixes: 4a965c5f89de ("staging: add driver for Xilinx AXI-Stream FIFO v4.1 IP core")
