[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Check image loaded or not before calling flash

Present code checks for update_flash_data in opal_flash_term_callback().
update_flash_data has been statically initialized to zero, and that
is the value of FLASH_IMG_READY. Also code update initialization happens
during subsys init.

So if reboot is issued before the subsys init stage then we endup displaying
"Flashing new firmware" message.. which may confuse end user.

This patch fixes above described issue by initializes update_flash status
to invalid state.

Ben, Sam,
  How about this patch?

  Initially I though of changing FLASH_IMG_READY value. But it has a impact
  on user space tool. (update_flash checks this value before calling reboot.
  See update_show function. Of course we can work around that .. But I thought
  this one is simpler approach.
