Andrew Lunn 9f239fe6a6 net: phy: Have __phy_modify return 0 on success
__phy_modify would return the old value of the register before it was
modified. Thus on success, it does not return 0, but a positive value.
Thus functions using phy_modify, which is a wrapper around
__phy_modify, can start returning > 0 on success, rather than 0. As a
result, breakage has been noticed in various places, where 0 was
assumed.

Code inspection does not find any current location where the return of
the old value is currently used. So have __phy_modify return 0 on
success. When there is a real need for the old value, either a new
accessor can be added, or an additional parameter passed.

Fixes: fea23fb591 ("net: phy: convert read-modify-write to phy_modify()")
Fixes: 2b74e5be17 ("net: phy: add phy_modify() accessor")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
