[net-next] dmfe: enforce consistent timing delay.

The driver does not always use the same timing for what looks like
the same operations.

- DCR0
  Use the same udelay everywhere for reset. Upper bound is 100 us.
- DCR9
  Use 5us delay for srom clock. 1us delay for phy_write_1bit (writes
  PHY_DATA_[01]) are not changed as they stay withing a 2,5MHz MDIO
  clock range.

I noticed those while staring at the driver.

Grant, regarding your previous remarks, I do not see where the problem
could be with posted writes MMIO accesses:
- the driver has always used the first (#0) bar register. It's hardcoded.
  The driver still uses this same bar register.
- the driver has never checked whether bar #0 was related to I/O or
  memory space. It assumed an I/O decoder and issued out* instructions.
- the DM9102 datasheet states BAR #0 is an IO only BAR. No idea for the
  DM9132, 9100 and 9009 though.

My changes have replaced in/out* accesses with ioread/write* - mostly
to help detecting places where type checking would have uncloaked a
forgotten net_device.base_addr.

Thus, if someone has a dmfe device including a MMIO space decoder behind
bar #0, iowrite* will now emit memory write instructions where the driver
previously used I/O operations. It may not work very well due to posted
writes issues, sure. However I wonder on which platform - if any - the
former MMIO space + I/O accesses (!) combo would have behaved correctly.

?

I didn't realize BAR0 is hard coded in the driver. BAR0 unlikely to
become MMIO for other devices. I think you are right - there is no
problem.

unlikely. I'll worry about it when someone does in fact find this configuration.

MMIO and I/O can interoperate to the same device since the device
registers are just having transactions sent to them via different
address decoders. Drivers typically only use one or the other though
if both are available.
