Subject: [PATCH V2 01/12] thunderbolt: dma_port: Check
 'dma_port_flash_write_block()'s return value

... and take the error path if it fails.

Fixes the following W=1 kernel build warning(s):

 drivers/thunderbolt/dma_port.c: In function ‘dma_port_flash_write_block’:
 drivers/thunderbolt/dma_port.c:331:6: warning: variable ‘ret’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
