Subject: staging: vchiq_2835_arm: Make cache-line-size a required DT property
From: Michael Zoran <mzoran@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6cf1bf636a067eb308cb3a8322b9d6b1844a075d ]
The original github source allowed for the cache-line-size property
to be missing. Since recent firmwares also require this property,
it makes sense to always require it in the driver as well.
If the cache-line-size property is missing, then the driver probe
should fail as no dev since the kernel and dt may be out of sync.
The fix is to add a check for the return value of of_property_read_u32.
Changes V2:
1. Add error message if cache-line-size is missing.
2. Simple check for non-zero return value from
of_property_read_u32.
