Hi Paul,

Resets of the EG20T MAC on the MIPS Boston development board take longer

than simply increasing the number of loops, switch to using
readl_poll_timeout_atomic() from linux/iopoll.h in order to provide some
independence from the speed of the CPU.

This new timeout value appears to be too low - I'm seeing plenty of timeout warnings now and ultimately the device fails to initialise:

My tests show that a timeout value as big as 20000 may be required to make it work reliably ...
