[PATCH v2] net: phy: Have __phy_modify return 0 on success

[Andrew Lunn]

__phy_modify would return the old value of the register before it was
modified. Thus on success, it does not return 0, but a positive value.
Thus functions using phy_modify, which is a wrapper around
__phy_modify, can start returning > 0 on success, rather than 0. As a
result, breakage has been noticed in various places, where 0 was
assumed.

Code inspection does not find any current location where the return of
the old value is currently used. So have __phy_modify return 0 on
success. When there is a real need for the old value, either a new
accessor can be added, or an additional parameter passed.

Fixes: fea23fb591cc ("net: phy: convert read-modify-write to phy_modify()")
Fixes: 2b74e5be17d2 ("net: phy: add phy_modify() accessor")

Hi David

Is there any particular reason you have not picked up this patch?  Do
you want more testing? An O.K. from Russell?

Thanks
