It is likely to only affect davinci, just a mix up of the internal MDIO
accessors return code (not in the changes made by spatch proper).

It would be better in the future in the davinci code to just use the
same convention as the mdiodev accessors but I chose a non-invasive
quick to check follow-up patch.
