Please change this function to return bool, you are not interested in
status.

Success oriented flow, plase
if (vsec_id != FW_STATUS_VSEC_ID)
 cotitnue;

No need to this new define if you change get_fw_ready_status() to return
true/false.

And I think that you can put this check earlier in octep_probe().
