[lvc-project] [PATCH net] broadcom: b44: prevent uninitialized value usage

[Alexey Simakov]

On execution path with raised B44_FLAG_EXTERNAL_PHY, b44_readphy()
leaves bmcr value uninitialized and it is used later in the code.

Add check of this flag at the beginning of the b44_nway_reset() and
exit early of the function if an external PHY is used, that would
also correspond to other b44_readphy() call sites.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.

Fixes: 753f492093da ("[B44]: port to native ssb support")
