Commit Message

This reverts commit 09ef193fef7efb0175a04634853862d717adbb95.

For C3000 family of SoCs, they have four ixgbe devices sharing a single MDIO bus.
ixgbe_mii_bus_init() returns -ENODEV for other three devices. The propagation
of the error code makes other three ixgbe devices unregistered.

Then we should check if err == -ENODEV, not outright ignore all
potential errors, right?

Hm, it is weird to take -ENODEV as a no error.
How about just return 0 instead of -ENODEV in the following function?

<drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_phy.c>
 902 s32 ixgbe_mii_bus_init(struct ixgbe_hw *hw)
 903 {
 .
 .
 .
 913   switch (hw->device_id) {
 914   /* C3000 SoCs */
 915   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_KR:
 916   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_KR_L:
 917   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_SFP_N:
 918   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_SGMII:
 919   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_SGMII_L:
 920   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_10G_T:
 921   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_SFP:
 922   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_1G_T:
 923   case IXGBE_DEV_ID_X550EM_A_1G_T_L:
 924     if (!ixgbe_x550em_a_has_mii(hw))
 925       return -ENODEV;

No, it's perfectly fine. -ENODEV means there's no device and this can
happen. The caller can then act accordingly - for example: ignore that
fact. We do it in several places[1].
