If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Conor Dooley commit c7596f9001e2b83293e3658e4e1addde69bb335d upstream. There's no point letting the driver probe if there is no flash, as trying to do a firmware upload will fail. Move the code that attempts to get the flash from firmware upload to probe, and let it emit a message to users stating why auto-update is not supported. The code currently could have a problem if there's a flash in devicetree, but the system controller driver fails to get a pointer to it from the mtd subsystem, which will cause mpfs_sys_controller_get_flash() to return an error. Check for errors and null, instead of just null, in the new clause.
