 smsc75xx_bind+0x485/0x11e0 drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c:1482This issue is caused because usbnet_read_cmd() reads less bytes than requested
(zero byte in the reproducer). In this case, 'buf' is not properly filled.This patch fixes the issue by returning -ENODATA if usbnet_read_cmd() reads
less bytes than requested.
