I have no strong feelings on this really. The CIO2 driver, before the bridge was a thing, didn't 
treat a lack of connected endpoints as an error case and still completed probe if the 
cio2_parse_firmware() function doesn't find any connected endpoints...but perhaps it should have 
behaved this way all along. Is there value in having the cio2 device probed, but useless? I can't 
think of any at the moment.


The patch contents themselves look good to me.
