Sudeep Holla 18706ea68f firmware: arm_ffa: Treat missing FF-A feature on a platform as a probe miss
When FF-A initialisation is driven from a platform device probe, systems
that do not implement FF-A can return -EOPNOTSUPP from the early transport
or version discovery paths. Driver core treats that as a matched probe
failure and prints:

  |  arm-ffa arm-ffa: probe with driver arm-ffa failed with error -95

That is noisy for a firmware interface that can be absent on otherwise
valid systems. Driver core already treats -ENODEV and -ENXIO as quiet
rejected matches, so translate only the early unsupported discovery cases
to -ENODEV. Keep later setup failures unchanged so real FF-A
initialisation problems are still reported as probe failures.
