Subject: staging: vchiq_2835_arm: Make cache-line-size a required DT property

From: Michael Zoran <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6cf1bf636a067eb308cb3a8322b9d6b1844a075d ]

The original github source allowed for the cache-line-size property to be missing. Since recent firmwares also require this property, it makes sense to always require it in the driver as well.

If the cache-line-size property is missing, then the driver probe should fail as no dev since the kernel and dt may be out of sync. The fix is to add a check for the return value of of_property_read_u32.

Changes V2:
1. Add error message if cache-line-size is missing.
2. Simple check for non-zero return value from of_property_read_u32.
