Actually, to correct myself, there are a number of error conditions
including timeouts inside the FW layer, but they are returned here, not
from opal_async_wait_response(). So indeed, we could do some error code
conversion at that point.

Neelesh, can you do that on top of your patch that adds the detailed
error codes ? We can merge it fw side tomorrow if you have a new spin,
worst case if the FW is old and only returns OPAL_HARDWARE we return
-EIO and if the FW is newer we'll have more precise error codes in Linux
too.

Cheers,
Ben.
