[PATCH v8 0/2] staging: axis-fifo: clean up probe logic

This series cleans up the axis-fifo driver probe function logic.

Changes in v8:
 - Reverted line wrapping changes to keep the diff focused strictly 
   on logic refactoring and avoid unrelated whitespace noise.

Changes in v7:
 - Rewrote Patch 1 description for better clarity and acknowledged 
   that the original code works.
 - Reverted variable name and type back to 'unsigned int value' to 
   minimize diff noise.
 - Removed unnecessary whitespace and extra blank lines between 
   function calls and error checks.

Changes in v6:
 - Removed axis_fifo_get_u32() helper function entirely.
 - Removed all dev_err() calls in parse_dt.
 - Kept 'node' local variable in parse_dt to avoid checkpatch 
   line length warnings.
 - Added missing "---" line after Signed-off-by.
 - Fixed checkpatch style warning (missing blank line after declarations).
 - Ensured newline at the end of the file.

Changes in v5:
 - Added missing newline at the end of axis-fifo.c file in Patch 2.

Changes in v4:
 - Removed extra blank lines in commit messages.
 - Added "rx" and "tx" prefixes to error messages (removed in v6).

Changes in v3:
 - Split the original monolithic v2 patch into two separate patches.

Changes in v2:
 - Fixed checkpatch.pl coding style issues.

Update has_rx_fifo and has_tx_fifo types from int to u32 in struct
axis_fifo.

The of_property_read_u32() function expects a pointer to u32. Although
the current code works correctly with int, using u32 aligns the data
structure with the Device Tree API and prevents potential
type-mismatch issues.

Refactor the device tree parsing logic in axis_fifo_probe() to reduce
verbosity and simplify error handling.

Remove the verbose error logging and goto logic. Instead, check
of_property_read_u32() return values directly and propagate error codes
immediately. This aligns the driver with modern kernel standards by
removing unnecessary error messages during probe.

Changes in v8:
 - Reverted line wrapping changes to keep the diff focused strictly 
   on logic refactoring and avoid unrelated whitespace noise.

Changes in v7:
 - Reverted variable name and type from 'u32 width' back to the 
   original 'unsigned int value' to minimize unnecessary diff noise.
 - Removed extra blank lines between function calls and error 
   checks to keep the diff as compact as possible.

Changes in v6:
 - Removed the axis_fifo_get_u32() helper function entirely.
 - Removed all dev_err() calls in axis_fifo_parse_dt() as the 
   driver core already reports probe failures.
 - Kept the 'node' local variable to avoid checkpatch line 
   length warnings.
 - Fixed checkpatch style warning (missing blank line after 
   declarations).
 - Ensured a newline exists at the end of the file.

Changes in v5:
 - Added missing newline at the end of axis-fifo.c.

Changes in v4:
 - Removed extra blank lines in the commit message.
 - Added "rx" and "tx" prefixes to error messages (these 
   messages were later removed in v6).

Changes in v3:
 - Split the original monolithic v2 patch into two separate 
   patches to isolate logic refactoring from type alignment.

Changes in v2:
 - Fixed checkpatch.pl coding style issues regarding 
   indents and line formatting.

Changes in v1:
 - Initial submission.
