[PATCH net 2/4] net: dsa: mt7530: check bus->read() error in core_rmw()

core_rmw() accesses the MMD core registers directly rather than
through the regmap and has the same unchecked bus->read() as the
one just fixed in the MDIO regmap backend: a negative errno is
consumed as register data, modified and written back to the switch.
Check the read and bail out like the surrounding bus accesses do.

Fixes: b8f126a8d543 ("net-next: dsa: add dsa support for Mediatek MT7530 switch")
