 ethernet: fec: Replace interrupt driven MDIO with polled IO"

It appears quite a few boards were affected by this micrel PHY driver change:

2ccb0161a0e9eb06f538557d38987e436fc39b8d
80bf72598663496d08b3c0231377db6a99d7fd68
2de00450c0126ec8838f72157577578e85cae5d8
820f8a870f6575acda1bf7f1a03c701c43ed5d79

I just updated the phy-mode with my board from rgmii to rgmii-id and
everything started working fine with net-next again:
