bcm53xx: use -ENOENT error for TRX parser workaround patch
Change return value from -EINVAL to -ENOENT for the TRX parser
workaround patch as it's better suited and it's the common exit error
for parser failing parsing for expected condition (partition not init,
zero partition found in the schema, magic values not matching)

Also this is needed for a pending upstream patch that will permit parser
to fail and be skipped for subpartitions only with the -ENOENT error.

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: trx: parse "firmware" MTD partitions only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Parsing every partition with "compatible" set to "brcm,trx" results in
parsing both: firmware partition and failsafe partition on devices that
implement failsafe booting. This affects e.g. Linksys EA9500 which has:
partition@200000 {
reg = <0x0200000 0x01d00000>;
compatible = "linksys,ns-firmware", "brcm,trx";
};
partition@1f00000 {
reg = <0x01f00000 0x01d00000>;
compatible = "linksys,ns-firmware", "brcm,trx";
};
Check for MTD partition name "firmware" before parsing. Recently added
ofpart_linksys_ns.c creates "firmware" and "failsafe" depending on
bootloader setup.
