Subject: net: fec: normalize return value of pm_runtime_get_sync() in MDIO write
From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 42ea4457aea7aaeddf0c0b06724f297608f5e9d2 ]
If fec MDIO write method succeeds its return value comes from
call to pm_runtime_get_sync().
But pm_runtime_get_sync() can also return 1.
In case of Micrel KSZ9031 PHY this value will then
be returned along the call chain of phy_write() ->
ksz9031_extended_write() -> ksz9031_center_flp_timing() ->
ksz9031_config_init() -> phy_init_hw() -> phy_attach_direct() ->
phy_connect_direct().
Then phy_connect() will cast it into a pointer using ERR_PTR(),
which then fec_enet_mii_probe() will try to dereference
resulting in an oops.
Fix it by normalizing return value of pm_runtime_get_sync()
to be zero if positive in MDIO write method.
