Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drivers/gpu/drm/ast: Fix infinite loop if read fails

[Why] Similar to commit <298360af3> ast_init_dram_reg() configures a window in order to access BMC memory.
A BMC register can be configured to disallow this, and if so, causes
an infinite loop in the ast driver which renders the system unusable.
[How]
Fix this by erroring out if an error is detected.
