Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: dp83848: check phy_read() return value in config_init()
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 15:58:27 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902065828.1031113-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

dp83848_config_init() reads BMCR to detect whether auto-negotiation is
enabled, but does not check the phy_read() return value. On an MDIO read
failure phy_read() returns a negative errno, which is then used directly
in a bitwise test; the auto-negotiation state is left undefined while
config_init() still reports success.

Check the return value and propagate the error.

Fixes: b718e8c8f4f5 ("net: phy: dp83822: use BMCR_ANENABLE instead of BMSR_ANEGCAPABLE for DP83620")

Only compile-tested; I do not have DP83848-family hardware.
