[PATCH 2/3] ARM: layerscape: add helpful runtime warning when firmware is missing

Firmware compiled into barebox PBL is rarely optional, so even if
CONFIG_MISSING_FIRMWARE_ERROR is disabled, barebox will not generate
images with missing PBL firmware.

We can relax this for firmware compiled into barebox proper though: If
the user disables CONFIG_MISSING_FIRMWARE_ERROR, just have the driver
fail at runtime as not to break other boards in the same build that
don't require the firmware.

Missing barebox proper firmware will be detectable as a 0-byte firmware
blob in the follow-up commit, so prepare for that by printing an
informative error message.
