On the DM9000B, dm9000_phy_write() is called after the main spinlock
is held, during the dm9000_timeout() routine. Spinlock recursion
occurs because the main spinlock is requested again in
dm9000_phy_write(). So spinlock should be avoided in phy operation
during the dm9000_timeout() routine.

v2:
   dm9000_phy_write_reg is extracted from dm9000_phy_write, with no lock,
   do the real phy operation.
