In some conditions (e.g. when AMT is enabled on the system), it is possible
to take an extended period of time to for the driver to acquire the sw/fw/hw
hardware semaphore used to protect against concurrent access of a shared
resource (e.g. PHY registers).  This could cause PHY registers to not get
configured properly resulting in link issues.
