      ssb: do not read SPROM if it does not exist · d53cdbb9
      John W. Linville authored
      Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause
      hangs on some boxes.  At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that
      don't have SPROMs at all.  When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts
      to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box --
      no console output, etc.
      
      This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM
      is present before attempting to read it.  This avoids those hard hangs
      on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus.  The
      SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box
      will survive to test further patches. :-)
