Subject: [PATCH 1/6] sisfb: POST should fail if R/W test fails

Currently there is no indication if R/W test fails during POST. This can
happen e.g. when user plugs in a card with unsupported type of memory.
Since the driver will be unusable, it's better to fail the whole POST
if the memory cannot be configured properly.
