The MII code does not check the return value of mdio_read (among
others), and therefore no error code should be sent. A previous fix to
the use of an uninitialized variable propagates negative error codes,
that might lead to wrong operations by the MII library.
An example of such issues is the use of mii_nway_restart by the dm9601
driver. The mii_nway_restart function does not check the value returned
by mdio_read, which in this case might be a negative number which could
contain the exact bit the function checks (BMCR_ANENABLE = 0x1000).
Return zero in case of error, as it is common practice in users of
mdio_read to avoid wrong uses of the return value.

Linux kernel
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or
make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
