You've changed __ax88179_write_cmd(), but not __ax88179_read_cmd(). I've 
missed it. Changing  __ax88179_write_cmd() does not help with uninit 
value bugs

Also I believe, __ax88179_read_cmd() should have __must_check annotation 
too, since problem came from it in the first place (I mean after added 
sane error handling inside it)

Next thing is ax88179_read_cmd_nopm() still prone to uninit value bugs, 
since it touches uninitialized `buf` in case of __ax88179_read_cmd() 
error...



I remembered why I gave up on fixing this driver... I hope, you have 
more free time and motivation :)
