Subject: [[PATCH net-next] 2/2] net: xilinx_emaclite: use readx_poll_timeout() in mdio wait function

From: Kurt Kanzenbach <kurt@...utronix.de>

On loaded systems with a preemptible kernel the mdio_wait() function may
report an error while everything is working fine:

xemaclite_mdio_wait():
  xemaclite_readl() -> chip not ready
  --> interrupt here (other work for some time / chip become ready)
  if (time_before_eq(end, jiffies))
    --> false positive error report

Replace the current code with readx_poll_timeout() which takes care
of the situation.
