Both lan9303_phy_write and regmap_write may fail. The fix adds
the error handling to print error messages upon failure.

It's ignored elsewhere in this driver in places you haven't handled.

I doubt this is much of an improvement to the driver to be quite
honest.

I disagree with the mantra that just because an error is potentially
returned, that it always must be checked.
