ti: common: board_detect: Return a valid empty string for un-initialized eeprom

Current logic for query of revision, board_name, config returns
NULL. Users of these functions do a direct strncmp to compare.
Unfortunately, as per conventions require two valid strings to compare
against and the current implementation causes a crash when compared
with NULL.

We'd still like to maintain the simplistic usage of these APIs instead
of redundant if (string) res=strncmp(fn(),"cmp",n); flowing all over
the place.

Hence, since the version, name and config is already pre-initialized
with empty string, just dont check for invalid header in the first
place and return the empty string to the caller.
