net: memac_phy: add a timeout to MDIO operations
We have encountered circumstances when a board design does not include
pull-up resistors on the external MDIO buses which are not used. This
leads to the MDIO data line not being pulled-up, thus the MDIO controller
will always see the line as busy.
Without a timeout in the MDIO bus driver, the execution is stuck in an
infinite loop when any access is initiated on that external bus.
Add a timeout in the driver so that we are protected in this
circumstance. This is similar to what is being done in the Linux
xgmac_mdio driver.
