[[PATCH v2]drm/amdgpu/psp: ignore psp reponse status] drm/amdgpu/psp: ignore psp reponse status

[Liu, Aaron]

Hi Paul,

The psp code only support ucode loading at the beginning, but forgot to remove the checking when more and more PSP command get into PSP.

So some old PSP FW maybe have problem but PSP driver didn’t find it out.
If reverting the patch, we also can’t find out wrong PSP FW and have big problem when support new PSP command.

The temporary solution is: do not return error if response is invalid but add warning message to notify, it will not block old FW and get attention if new PSP FW have some issue.

BR,
Aaron Liu
