Subject: liquidio: fix bug in soft reset failure detection

From: Derek Chickles <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 05a6b4cae8c0cc1680c9dd33a97a49a13c0f01bc ]

The code that detects a failed soft reset of Octeon is comparing the wrong value against the reset value of the Octeon SLI_SCRATCH_1 register, resulting in an inability to detect a soft reset failure. Fix it by using the correct value in the comparison, which is any non-zero value.
