mv88e6390_serdes_get_regs() and mv88e6352_serdes_get_regs() also ignore 
the error. The generic mv88e6xxx_get_regs() memsets p[] to 0xff so if 
the serdes_get_regs functions just left it alone we'd return 0xffff 
which is probably better than repeating the last value although it's 
still ambiguous because 0xffff is a valid value for plenty of these 
registers.

Since it looks like I need to come up with an alternative to patch #1 
I'll concentrate on that but making the serdes_get_regs() a little more 
error tolerant is a cleanup I can easily tack on onto this series.
