[lvc-project] [PATCH] net: dsa: add return value check of genphy_read_status()

[Александра Дюпина]

Hello, Andrew!

The dsa_register_switch() function is used in various DSA
drivers (in probe function), so it is necessary to check all
possible errors. If the return value (may be an error code)
of genphy_read_status() is not checked in
dsa_shared_port_fixed_link_register_of(), a possible error
in dsa_register_switch() may be missed.
