Great. Could you cook up a proper patch and submit it?

The number of times it polled for the bit is somewhat high. The silly
thing here is, you are doing MDIO over MDIO. The inner MDIO bus should
be just as fast as the outer MDIO bus, both around 2.5MHz. So i don't
see why it should need to loop more than once waiting for the inner
MDIO to complete..
