On execution path with raised B44_FLAG_EXTERNAL_PHY, b44_readphy() leaves bmcr value uninitialized and it is used later in the code. Add check of this flag at the beginning of the b44_nway_reset() and exit early of the function if an external PHY is used, that would also correspond to other b44_readphy() call sites. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
