[NET][USB] smsc95xx: Ignore -ENODEV errors when device is unplugged

Alessandro Pecugi requested to merge smsc95xx-fix-device-unplugged into seco_lf-5.10.y

The smsc95xx driver reports an error on reboot because it doesn't handle correctly when the device is disconnected. This commit from mainline fixes that: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.10.198&id=96340cdd552677a6bc9bfc6e3a749ff0bd49d3f8

commit c70c453a upstream.

According to Documentation/driver-api/usb/URB.rst when a device is unplugged usb_submit_urb() returns -ENODEV.

This error code propagates all the way up to usbnet_read_cmd() and usbnet_write_cmd() calls inside the smsc95xx.c driver during Ethernet cable unplug, unbind or reboot.

This causes the following errors to be shown on reboot, for example:

ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.1: remove, state 1
usb usb2: USB disconnect, device number 1
usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: unregister 'smsc95xx' usb-ci_hdrc.1-1.1, smsc95xx USB 2.0 Ethernet

smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Error reading MII_ACCESS
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: __smsc95xx_mdio_read: MII is busy
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Failed to read reg index 0x00000114: -19
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Error reading MII_ACCESS
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: __smsc95xx_mdio_read: MII is busy
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: hardware isn't capable of remote wakeup
usb 2-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 4
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.1: USB bus 2 deregistered
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: remove, state 4

ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: USB bus 1 deregistered
imx2-wdt 30280000.watchdog: Device shutdown: Expect reboot!
reboot: Restarting system

Ignore the -ENODEV errors inside __smsc95xx_mdio_read() and __smsc95xx_phy_wait_not_busy() and do not print error messages when -ENODEV is returned.
