In five different instances the return value of "of_property_read_u32"
API was neither captured nor checked.

Fixed it by capturing the return value and then checking for any error.

All these values are initialized already.
Isn't it enough to just ignore return value like this to make coverity happy?

(void)of_property_read_u32(np, "xlnx,is-dual", &is_dual)
