Subject: [PATCH 10/12] habanalabs: skip read fw errors if dynamic descriptor invalid

From: Ohad Sharabi <osharabi@...ana.ai>

Reporting FW errors involves reading of the error registers.

In case we have a corrupted FW descriptor we cannot do that since the
dynamic scratchpad is potentially corrupted as well and may cause kernel
crush when attempting access to a corrupted register offset.
