Subject: [PATCH net-next v5] net: phy: mxl-gpy: enhance delay time required by loopback disable function

GPY2xx devices need 3 seconds to fully switch out of loopback mode
before it can safely re-enter loopback mode. Implement timeout mechanism
to guarantee 3 seconds waited before re-enter loopback mode.

Signed-off-by: Xu Liang <lxu@...linear.com>
---
v2 changes:
 Update comments.

v3 changes:
 Submit for net-next.

v4 changes:
 Implement timeout mechanism as re-enter loopback mode is quite rare use case.
 The delay is not required to resume normal function.

v5 changes:
 Fix race condition introduced in v4.
 Remove the bool variable lb_dis_chk added in v4.
