[PATCH net] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Avoid uninitialized value on MDIO read error

Message-ID <[email protected]>
An SMI timeout or PPU access failure can make a Clause 22 PHY read
return without initializing its output value. When reading MII_PHYSID2,
mv88e6xxx_mdio_read() still passes that value through the internal PHY
model-number workaround before returning the error, causing an
uninitialized stack read.

Run the workaround only after a successful PHY read. This preserves the
original error and leaves successful PHY ID reads unchanged.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
