Subject: aic94xx: Skip reading user settings if flash is not found

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>

commit 36dd5acd196574d41de3e81d8264df475bbb7123 upstream.

If no user settings are found it's pointless trying to
read them from flash. So skip that step.
This also fixes a compilation warning about uninitialized variables in
aic94xx.
