There are several more situations in this file where the data blob passed
to asix_read_cmd() is read without pre-initialization not checking the
return value from asix_read_cmd().

So, syzbot can see some of them but not all of them, yet all of them
are buggy and should be fixed.

These kinds of patches drive me absolutely crazy :-)

Really, one of two things needs to happen, either asix_read_cmd() clears
the incoming buffer unconditionally, or these call sites strictly must
check the return value always before accessing the buffer after the call.

I'm not applying this, sorry.

This is for fixing KMSAN: uninit-value in asix_mdio_write
comes from syzbot.
