If CONFIG_SCOM_DEBUGFS is not set in the running kernel then
the scom controllers are not exposed and so using getscom
won't work. Add check for /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/scom to
give a more useful error message.

Any chance you could update this to use the logging API? (ie.
pdbg_log(PDBG_ERROR, ...)). Otherwise looks good. Thanks!
