net: phy: fix use of uninit variable when setting PLCA config

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1530573:    (UNINIT)
drivers/net/phy/phy-c45.c:1036 in genphy_c45_plca_set_cfg()
1030      return ret;
1031
1032      val = ret;
1033      }
1034
1035      if (plca_cfg->node_cnt >= 0)
vvv     CID 1530573:    (UNINIT)
vvv     Using uninitialized value "val".
1036      val = (val & ~MDIO_OATC14_PLCA_NCNT) |
1037            (plca_cfg->node_cnt << 8);
1038
1039      if (plca_cfg->node_id >= 0)
1040      val = (val & ~MDIO_OATC14_PLCA_ID) |
1041            (plca_cfg->node_id);
drivers/net/phy/phy-c45.c:1076 in genphy_c45_plca_set_cfg()
1070      return ret;
1071
1072      val = ret;
1073      }
1074
1075      if (plca_cfg->burst_cnt >= 0)
vvv     CID 1530573:    (UNINIT)
vvv     Using uninitialized value "val".
1076      val = (val & ~MDIO_OATC14_PLCA_MAXBC) |
1077            (plca_cfg->burst_cnt << 8);
1078
1079      if (plca_cfg->burst_tmr >= 0)
1080      val = (val & ~MDIO_OATC14_PLCA_BTMR) |
1081            (plca_cfg->burst_tmr);

This is not actually creating a real problem because the path leading to
'val' being used uninitialized will eventually override the full content
of that variable before actually using it for writing the register.
However, the fix is simple and comes at basically no cost.
