It would be good if the "val < 0" was not here. What the user is
really interested in is !(val & MDIO_CTRL1_RESET). "val < 0" is the
error handling for phy_read_mmd(). This would look a lot nicer if that
error handling was inside phy_read_mmd_poll_timeout() and ret would
already contain the error from phy_read_mmd(). Not sure you can do
this and still make use of readx_poll_timeout().
