Subject: [[PATCH net-next] 0/2] Convert mdio wait function to use readx_poll_timeout()

Hi,

On loaded systems with a preemptible kernel both functions
axienet_mdio_wait_until_ready() and xemaclite_mdio_wait() may report a
false positive error return.
Convert both functions to use readx_poll_timeout() to handle the
situation in a safe manner.

Regards
    Benedikt Spranger
