> Unify handling of PHY firmware load delays across all E800 family devices. There is an existing mechanism to poll GL_MNG_FWSM_FW_LOADING_M bit of GL_MNG_FWSM register in order to verify whether PHY FW loading completed or not. Previously, this logic was limited to E827 variants only.
>
> Also, inform a user of possible delay in initialization process, by dumping informational message in dmesg log ("Link initialization is blocked by PHY FW initialization. Link initialization will continue after PHY FW initialization completes.").
