[PATCH] powerpc/rtas_flash: Move an assignment for the variable "rc" in manage_flash_write()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfr...@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 21:20:09 +0100

A local variable was set to an error code before a concrete error situation
was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into an if branch
to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
