Subject: [PATCH v2] memory: brcmstb_dpfe: fix array index out of bounds

We would overrun the error_text array if we hit a TIMEOUT condition,
because we were using the error code "ETIMEDOUT" (which is 110) as an
array index.

We fix the problem by correcting the array index and by providing a
function to retrieve error messages rather than accessing the array
directly. The function includes a bounds check that prevents the array
from being overrun.

This patch was prepared in response to
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/18/505.

Changes since v1:
    - Added link of the coverity report to the commit message.
    - Added Florian's ack.
    - Removed second "const" from get_error_text() return type
      (thanks to the kernel test robot).
