Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb: Add error checking for bcm3510_writeB()

In  bcm3510_bert_reset(), the function performed multiple writes
without checking the return value of bcm3510_writeB(). This could
result in silent failures if the writes failed, leaving the BER
counter in an undefined state.

Add error checking for each bcm3510_writeB call and propagate any
errors immediately. This ensures proper error handling and prevents
silent failures during BER counter initialization.

Fixes: 55f51efdb696 ("[PATCH] dvb: flexcop: add BCM3510 ATSC frontend support for Air2PC card")
