Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/3] e1000e: refactor PHY ID detection workaround

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

The workaround that detects the correct PHY ID when an initial read of the
PHY ID registers returns an invalid one should retry up to ten times with
a small delay between attempts using a single PHY address and then repeat
using the remaining possible PHY addresses.  Do this instead of trying each
possible PHY address repeating that up to 100 times.
