Subject: [PATCH 3.16 240/294] aic94xx: Skip reading user settings if flash
 is not found

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@...e.de>

commit 36dd5acd196574d41de3e81d8264df475bbb7123 upstream.

If no user settings are found it's pointless trying to
read them from flash. So skip that step.
This also fixes a compilation warning about uninitialized variables in
aic94xx.
