OK, found the problem. Currently ucc_geth bring the IF down and up
each time a TX timeout occurs which means you cannot do cancel_work_sync()
in ucc_geth_close as it will dead lock.

Looking at gianfar, it just reinits the controller and PHY and
I guess ucc_geth really should do the same.
This patch tries to do that but I am not sure it recovers
after a TX timeout.

Anton, what do think? If OK with you I will write up
a proper patch.
