Subject: [PATCH 0/2] net: xlinx: mdio: recheck condition after timeout

Hi,

the Xilinx mdio wait functions may return false positives under certain
circumstances: If the functions get preempted between reading the corresponding
mdio register and checking for the timeout, they could falsely indicate a
timeout.

In order to avoid the issue, the condition should be rechecked in the timeout
case.

  net: axienet: recheck condition after timeout in mdio_wait()
  net: xilinx_emaclite: recheck condition after timeout in mdio_wait()
