The firmware upload progress bar reads two files under debugfs, which requires sudo group membership. Non-sudo users may hit PermissionError during IMX500() construction even though the progress bar is purely cosmetic and the rest of the device works without it. Catch PermissionError/FileNotFoundError on the two opens, print a warning, and continue fw upload without a progress bar. Signed-off-by: Naushir Patuck <naush@raspberrypi.com>
