When mxl111sf_read_reg fails, we shouldn't use "mode". The fix checks
its return value using mxl_fail

It *looks* correct, however....
If I recall correctly, this chip will often fail when reading
registers. Notice, `mode` is initialized to zero at first, and not
again touched before being passed to the readreg function - this is on
purpose. The value remains untouched if the read fails. ....and the
read _wil_ fail. Maybe not always, but sometimes.
When you run with the patch applied, does it just spew errors?
