I think, we can.
On the one hand, indeed the code more resilient and less change.
From the other hand if grant table region is not found then something
weird happened as region 0 is always present in reg property if
hypervisor node is exposed to the guest.
The behavior before commit 3cf4095d7446 ("arm/xen: Use
xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages to setup grant table") was exactly the
same in the context of the failure if region wasn't found.
...
Well, if we want to make code more resilient, I will update. But, looks
like we also need to switch actions in xen_dt_guest_init() in order to
process xen_events_irq before xen_grant_frames, otherwise we may return
after failing with region and end up not initializing xen_events_irq so
xen_guest_init() will fail earlier than reaches that check.
What do you think?
