patch 'net/e1000/base: propagate PHY control register write error' has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/27/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/d83f8c621bf8bb6bdcd9bfda357b41446bc9855f

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/e1000/base: propagate PHY control register write error

[ upstream commit f2335d90a7c16d9909e9666d9a7eb4cad4c3d7b5 ]

During HV PHY workaround handling, a failure writing to the PHY control
register was silently discarded rather than returned to the caller. Add
the missing early return so the error is correctly propagated.

Fixes: 5a32a257f957 ("e1000: more NICs in base driver")
