In bcm3510_bert_reset(), the function performed multiple writes without checking the return value of bcm3510_writeB(). This could result in silent failures if the writes failed, leaving the BER counter in an undefined state.
Add error checking for each bcm3510_writeB call and propagate any errors immediately. This ensures proper error handling and prevents silent failures during BER counter initialization.
