When reading registers from the PHY using the SIOCGMIIREG IOCTL any
errors returned from either mdiobus_read() or mdiobus_c45_read() are
ignored, and parts of the returned error is passed as the register value
back to user-space.
For example, if mdiobus_c45_read() is used with a bus that do not
implement the read_c45() callback -EOPNOTSUPP is returned. This is
however directly stored in mii_data->val_out and returned as the
registers content. As val_out is a u16 the error code is truncated and
returned as a plausible register value.
Fix this by first checking the return value for errors before returning
it as the register content.
Before this patch,
# phytool read eth0/0:1/0
0xffa1
After this change,
$ phytool read eth0/0:1/0
error: phy_read (-95)

Thanks for fixing that!
