** Description changed:

+ [SRU Justification]
+ On an OpenPower system, '/usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -d' will print a 
gratuitous error message, and will not correctly report failures to query the 
firmware version.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 1. On an OpenPower system (as determined by the presence of the file 
/proc/device-tree/bmc), run 'sudo update_flash_nv -d'.  Observe that an error 
message is printed before the version information.
+ 2. Install powerpc-utils from xenial-proposed.
+ 3. Run 'sudo update_flash_nv -d' again.  Verify that no error message is 
printed.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Minimal.  This is a targeted, one-line fix for a bashism in a shell script.
+
