agree, will change pr_debug to pr_warn.

Thanks :-)

here, I want to make sure the FW is valid.
Once there is a FW bug, we could just return with error.  :-)

yes, this may can simplify the function, but this will be released at
the end of init because of "__init" :-)
So how about let's just keep this check to make sure the FW is OK.  :-)
