Probably the second _relaxed() should not be. You want it guaranteed
to be written out before you do the mdelay().

So how does this play with what Heiner has been reporting recently?
What is the reset default? Who determined this value?

What do you mean by 'come up'? Not link up i assume. But maybe it will
not respond to MDIO requests?
