    kernel: mtdsplit_fit: always return 0 when partition can't be split
    
    If parse_fn() callback returns any error code, the entire MTD partition
    table will be destroyed. Returning "0" indicates that the partition
    should not be split. This patch fixes the kernel warning when running
    the initramfs image but there is no image in firmware partition:
