Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: normalize return value of pm_runtime_get_sync()
 in MDIO write

If fec MDIO write method succeeds its return value comes from
call to pm_runtime_get_sync().
But pm_runtime_get_sync() can also return 1.

In case of Micrel KSZ9031 PHY this value will then
be returned along the call chain of phy_write() ->
ksz9031_extended_write() -> ksz9031_center_flp_timing() ->
ksz9031_config_init() -> phy_init_hw() -> phy_attach_direct() ->
phy_connect_direct().

Then phy_connect() will cast it into a pointer using ERR_PTR(),
which then fec_enet_mii_probe() will try to dereference
resulting in an oops.

Fix it by normalizing return value of pm_runtime_get_sync()
to be zero if positive in MDIO write method.
