[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/boot: Fix simpleboot CPU node lookup check
From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Subsystem:
linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers:

fdt_node_offset_by_prop_value() returns a negative error code on
failure - fix the check accordingly.
Fixes: d2477b5cc8ca ("[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Add a firmware-independent simpleboot target.")
