Subject: [010/205] r8169: fix mdio_read and update mdio_write according to hw specs

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Timo Teräs <timo.teras@....fi>

[ Upstream commit 81a95f049962ec20a9aed888e676208b206f0f2e ]

Realtek confirmed that a 20us delay is needed after mdio_read and
mdio_write operations. Reduce the delay in mdio_write, and add it
to mdio_read too. Also add a comment that the 20us is from hw specs.
