core/flash: Retry requests as necessary in flash_load_resource()
[ Upstream commit cccf5d7 ] We would like to successfully boot if we have a dependency on the BMC for flash even if the BMC is not current ready to service flash requests. On the assumption that it will become ready, retry for several minutes to cover a BMC reboot cycle and *eventually* rather than *immediately* crash out with: [ 269.549748] reboot: Restarting system [ 390.297462587,5] OPAL: Reboot request...
