    wil6210: ignore reset errors for FW during probe · 50e107ff

    There are special kinds of FW such as WMI only which
    are used for testing, diagnostics and other specific
    scenario.
    Such FW is loaded during driver probe and the driver
    disallows enabling any network interface, to avoid
    operational issues.
    In many cases it is used to debug early versions
    of FW with new features, which sometimes fail
    on startup.
    Currently when such FW fails to load (for example,
    because of init failure), the driver probe would fail
    and shutdown the device making it difficult to debug
    the early failure.
    To fix this, ignore load failures in WMI only FW and
    allow driver probe to succeed, making it possible to
    continue and debug the FW load failure.
