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.
