From: Casey Leedom <leedom@chelsio.com>

t4_get_flash_params() fails in a fatal fashion if the FLASH part isn't
one of the recognized parts. But this leads to desperate efforts to update
drivers when various FLASH parts which we are using suddenly become
unavailable and we need to substitute new FLASH parts.  This has lead to
more than one Customer Field Emergency when a Customer has an old driver
and suddenly can't use newly shipped adapters.

This commit fixes this by simply assuming that the FLASH part is 4MB in
size if it can't be identified. Note that all Chelsio adapters will have
flash parts which are at least 4MB in size.
