Subject: [PATCH 4/4] phylib: Allow reading and writing a mii bus from
 atomic context.

In order to support hardware time stamping from a PHY, it is necessary to
read from the PHY while running in_interrupt(). This patch allows a mii
bus to operate in an atomic context. An mii_bus driver may declare itself
capable for this mode. Drivers which do not do this will remain with the
default that bus operations may sleep.

Before commit 35b5f6b1a82b5c586e0b24c711dc6ba944e88ef1 mii bus
operations were protected with spin locks. That commit replaced the
locks with mutexs in order to accommodate i2c buses that need to
sleep. Thus, this patch restores the original behavior as a run time
option.
