The ksz register accessors return a negative error code if the underlying transport, e.g. i2c, fails. We need to propagate this error code, instead of reporting incorrect data. For the case a PHY doesn't exist, reads on a physical bus return 0xFFFF due to the pull-ups on the MDIO line, so we leave that as is.
