[ Upstream commit 32fa4366cc4da1c97b725a0066adf43c6b298f37 ]
read_poll_timeout inside phy_read_poll_timeout can set val negative in some cases (for example, __mdiobus_read inside phy_read can return -EOPNOTSUPP).
Supposedly, commit 4ec732951702 ("net: phylib: fix phy_read*_poll_timeout()") should fix problems with wrong-signed vals, but I do not see how as val is sent to phy_read as is and __val = phy_read (not val) is checked for sign.
Change val type for signed to allow better error handling as done in other phy_read_poll_timeout callers. This will not fix any error handling by itself, but allows, for example, to modify cond with appropriate sign check or check resulting val separately.
