[ Upstream commit 32fa4366cc4da1c97b725a0066adf43c6b298f37 ]
read_poll_timeout inside phy_read_poll_timeout can set val negative
in some cases (for example, __mdiobus_read inside phy_read can return
-EOPNOTSUPP).
Supposedly, commit 4ec732951702 ("net: phylib: fix phy_read*_poll_timeout()")
should fix problems with wrong-signed vals, but I do not see how
as val is sent to phy_read as is and __val = phy_read (not val)
is checked for sign.
Change val type for signed to allow better error handling as done in other
phy_read_poll_timeout callers. This will not fix any error handling
by itself, but allows, for example, to modify cond with appropriate
sign check or check resulting val separately.

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.
