Subject: [PATCH review for 4.9 11/50] staging: vchiq_2835_arm: Make
 cache-line-size a required DT property

From: Michael Zoran <mzoran@...wfest.net>

[ 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.
