6.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 569bf6d481b0b823c3c9c3b8be77908fd7caf66b ]
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)
