Subject: [PATCH 3/4] net: ch9200: improve error handling in get_mac_address()

The get_mac_address() function has an issue where it does not 
directly check the return value of each control_read(), instead 
it sums up the return values and checks them all at the end
which means if any call to control_read() fails the function just
continues on.

Handle this by validating the return value of each call and fail fast
and early instead of continuing.

Fixes: 4a476bd6d1d9 ("usbnet: New driver for QinHeng CH9200 devices")
