Both bcm_sf2_sw_indir_rw and mdiobus_write_nested could fail, so let's
return their error codes upstream.

This is wrong. Please get familiar with what the function does.
And test changes before submitting them!

Better. You should test a change before submitting (and better not only compile-test).
And please no HTML mails. Get familiar with the basics of kernel development
before submitting. Read document "SubmittingPatches" and the following for netdev:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
By the way: net-next is closed currently.

This is getting rediculous.

You are making completely untested changes, resubmitting very quickly
without any care or consideration whatsoever, and wasting a lot of
developer time with your carelessness.

Please stop doing this.
