If there is an error, your throw the error code away?

It is a bit messy, since you are using this inside
readx_poll_timeout(). I would probably do a netdev_warn() or similar,
since it should not happen, and then return 0? I _think_ this is
probably the first bus transaction we do, so if it fails, knowing the
error code will help figuring out what is wrong with the SPI bus
configuration.
