Subject: Re: [EXT] [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: ethernet: fec: Replace
 interrupt driven MDIO with polled IO

I did some profiling using an oscilloscope with my NXP Vybrid based
platform to see what different "sleep_us" values resulted in for start
of MDIO to start of MDIO transaction times.  Here's what I found:

0  - ~38us to ~40us
1  - ~48us to ~64us
2  - ~48us to ~64us
3  - ~48us to ~64us
4  - ~48us to ~64us
4  - ~48us to ~64us
5  - ~48us to ~64us
6  - ~48us to ~64us
7  - ~48us to ~64us
8  - ~48us to ~64us
9  - ~56us to ~88us
10 - ~56us to ~112us

Basically, with the "sleep_us" value set to 0, I would get the
shortest inter transaction times with a very low variance.  Once I
went to a non-zero value, the inter transaction time went up, as well
as the variance, which I suppose makes sense....
