[PATCH 1/6] usb: eth: asix88179: Use negative ECOMM return value

The ASIX 88179 driver asix_read/write_cmd() return a positive error
value instead of a typical negative error value. This return value is
checked in the asix_read/write_mac() to control a debug() print and can
also propagate to probe() and write_hwaddr() ops.

Change to use a proper negative ECOMM return value when read/write a
command. Also update to use the ETH_ALEN const instead of 6 for
consistent use in asix_read/write_mac().
