[PATCH 1/2] soc/tegra: fuse: Return -ENODEV for unsupported legacy SoCs

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When booting without a FUSE device tree node, tegra_init_fuse() falls
back to legacy SoC detection on 32-bit ARM systems. If the detected chip
ID does not match any supported SoC, the default case only prints a
warning and breaks out of the switch statement.

In that case fuse->soc remains NULL, but initialization continues and
later calls fuse->soc->init(fuse), which results in a NULL pointer
dereference.

Return -ENODEV from the default case to stop initialization immediately
when the legacy fallback detects an unsupported SoC.
