Subject: [PATCH] net: mellanox: mlx5: fix error return code in mlx5_fpga_device_start()

When mlx5_is_fpga_lookaside() returns a non-zero value, no error
return code is assigned.
To fix this bug, err is assigned with -EINVAL as error return code.

To me it looks like the current behavior is intentional.
Did you verify that it's actually an error condition if the
function returns true? Please don't blindly trust such code checkers.

Like Heiner said, the current code has correct behavior.
The mlx5_fpga_device_load_check() has same mlx5_is_fpga_lookaside()
check and it is not an error if it returns true.

Agreed, apparently this robot is looking for "goto {out|*err*}"
statements and treats all of them as errors, this is very unreliable,
