We never, ever see a read or a write failure on the MDIO bus. If it
ever does, i expect the switch is dead, gone, never to be heard from
again until the power is reset. We are going to have lots of
failures. So it seems simpler to have:

	dev_dbg(chip->dev, "Setting AgeTime to 0x%02x (%d ms)\n", age_time,
		age_time * coeff);

	return mv88e6xxx_g1_write(chip, GLOBAL_ATU_CONTROL, val);

and accept that if for some unlikely reason the write does fail, the
debug message is probably not accurate.
