In mii_nway_restart() during the line:

        bmcr = mii->mdio_read(mii->dev, mii->phy_id, MII_BMCR);

The code attempts to call mii->mdio_read which is ch9200_mdio_read().

ch9200_mdio_read() utilises a local buffer, which is initialised
with control_read():

        unsigned char buff[2];

However buff is conditionally initialised inside control_read():

        if (err == size) {
                memcpy(data, buf, size);
        }

If the condition of "err == size" is not met, then buff remains
uninitialised. Once this happens the uninitialised buff is accessed
and returned during ch9200_mdio_read():

        return (buff[0] | buff[1] << 8);

The problem stems from the fact that ch9200_mdio_read() ignores the
return value of control_read(), leading to uinit-access of buff.

To fix this we should check the return value of control_read()
and return early on error.

We error check just one mdio_read() but there's a whole bunch of them
in this file. What's the expected behavior then? Are all of them buggy?

This patch should be split into core and driver parts.
