But it's just one line and a test.  The function would look like this:

bool xgmac_mdio_free_bus_wait(struct tgec_mdio_controller __iomem *regs)
{
	uint32_t status;

	status = spin_event_timeout(
		!((in_be32(&regs->mdio_stat)) & MDIO_STAT_BSY), TIMEOUT, 0);

	return status != 0;
}

and then

	if (!xgmac_mdio_free_bus_wait(regs)) {
		dev_dbg(&bus->dev, "%s: timeout waiting for stat\n", __func__);
		return -ETIMEDOUT;
	}

I don't see any real savings here.
