net_loop() returns signed int type and negative value represents error. tftp_read_file() returns unsigned size_t type and zero value represents error. Casting signed negative value to unsigned size_t type cause losing information about error and bubt thinks that no error happened, and continue erasing SPI-NOR which cause malfunction device.
Fix this issue by correctly propagating failure during tftp transport. With this change when there is no eth link, bubt does not erase SPI-NOR anymore. => bubt Burning U-Boot image "flash-image.bin" from "tftp" to "spi" ethernet@30000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT ! ethernet@30000: No link.
