Subject: [PATCH] phy: phy_ethtool_ksettings_set: Don't discard phy_start_aneg's return

From: Bastian Germann <bage@...utronix.de>

Take the return of phy_start_aneg into account so that ethtool will handle
negotiation errors and not silently accept invalid input.

Fixes: 2d55173e71b0 ("phy: add generic function to support ksetting support")
