Patrick Williams 7f852ec58a mtd: aspeed-smc: improve probe resilience
The aspeed-smc can have multiple SPI devices attached to it in the
device tree.  If one of the devices is missing or failing the entire
probe will fail and all MTD devices under the controller will be
removed.  On OpenBMC this results in a kernel panic due to missing
rootfs:

Fatal error, triggering kernel panic!
[    3.013047] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100

Many BMC designs have two flash chips so that they can handle a hardware
failure of one of them.  If one chip failed, it doesn't do any good to
have redundancy if they all get removed anyhow.

Improve the resilience of the probe function to handle one of the
children being missing or failed.  Only in the case where all children
fail to probe should the controller be failed out.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
