The return code variable rc is being set to return error values in two
places in sja1105_mdiobus_base_tx_register and yet it is not being
returned, the function always returns 0 instead. Fix this by replacing
the return 0 with the return code rc.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")

Should this function really return success if of_device_is_available()?

If _not_ of_device_is_available you mean? Yup. Nothing wrong with not
having an internal MDIO bus. This is a driver which supports switches
that do and switches that don't, and even if the node exists, it may
have status = "disabled", which is again fine.
Or am I misunderstanding the question?

Yeah.  I left out the "!".  That answers the question.  Thanks!
