Commit02a6efcab6("net: phy: allow scanning busses with missing phys") added a special condition to return -ENODEV in case -ENODEV or -EIO was returned from the first read of the MII_PHYSID1 register. In case the MDIO bus data line pull-up is not strong enough, the MDIO bus controller will not flag this as a read error. This can happen when a pluggable daughter card is not connected and weak internal pull-ups are used (since that is the only option, otherwise the pins are floating). The second read of MII_PHYSID2 will be correctly flagged an error though, but now we will return -EIO which will be treated as a hard error, thus preventing MDIO bus scanning loops to continue succesfully. Apply the same logic to both register reads, thus allowing the scanning logic to proceed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
