Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] x86: intel-mid: sfi_handle_*_dev() should check for pdata error code

When Intel MID finds a match between SFI table from FW and registered
SFI devices, it will always register a device regardless the platform
code was successful or not.

This patch adds an extra option for platform code to return error code
and abort device registration on SFI table parsing.

This patch does no functional change for current intel mid platform
code.
