[PATCH 1/4] firmware: arm_ffa: Allow FF-A initialisation even when notification fails

FF-A notifications are optional feature in the specification. Currently
we allow to continue if the firmware reports no support for the
notifications. However, we fail to continue and complete the FF-A
driver initialisation if the notification setup fails for any reason.

Let us allow the FF-A driver to complete the initialisation even if the
notification fails to setup. We will just flag the error and continue
to provide other features in the driver.
