The load_cpu_fw function has no error return code
and always returns zero. Checking the value returned by
this function does not make sense.
As a result, bnx2_init_cpus() will also return only zero
Therefore, it will be safe to change the type of functions
to void and remove checking

changes v2:
- bnx2_init_cpu_fw() and bnx2_init_cpus() are void
- delete casts to void
- remove check of bnx2_init_cpus() in bnx2_init_chip()

Not sure if it should go to -net, because it doesn't actually fix any
bug, more like refactoring which goes to -next, I believe.

I agree with Vadim, this looks like net-next material.
The net-next tree is currently closed. Please re-post when net-next re-
opens, in ~2 weeks, with the Fixes tag stripped.
Thanks!
