[PATCH] nfit: Continue init even if ARS commands are unimplemented

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Mar 04 2016 - 19:46:52 EST


From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@xxxxxxxxx>

If firmware doesn't implement any of the ARS commands, take that to
mean that ARS is unsupported, and continue to initialize regions without
bad block lists. We cannot make the assumption that ARS commands will be
unconditionally supported on all NVDIMMs.
