Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cxacru: Ignore error trying to start ADSL in atm_start

The sysfs adsl_status attribute ignores (aside from returning -EIO to the 
user) any error sending a START/STOP command to the device and there is 
at least one firmware which never sends a response but appears to work 
regardless. Therefore atm_start should also continue if an error is 
received so that such firmware is usable.

The official Conexant driver doesn't expect a reply either but this is 
for another device (E2 router) and a commonly used firmware does respond.

Also, there is no point in changing -ECONNRESET to -ETIMEDOUT since 
nothing ever checks for either of these values.
