Please also make a similar change to mv88e6xxx_smi_indirect_write().
The last write in that function should be timestamped.

Vivien, please could you think about these changes with respect to
RMU. We probably want to skip the RMU in this case, so we get slow but
uniform jitter, vs fast and unpredictable jitter from using the RMU.

Thanks
