check_firmware() makes sure firmware is in a device. It returns zero on success and error code otherwise. Also it sets down_firmware flag to 1 if downloading occurs. The only caller poseidon_probe() checks down_firmware flag and returns 0 without any initialization if it is set. That looks very strange, so the patch removes down_firmware argument of check_firmware() and returns error code if check_firmware() fails in poseidon_probe(). Not tested on real hardware.
