bnx2x: Prevent probe as early as possible
It's possible that due to errors [either on PCI or on device itself] registers reads would fail, returning all-Fs. This adds a check as early as possible so that driver will not read junk values and make incorrect probe decisions according to them; instead, gracefully fail the probe.
