This patch causes the kernel log to be spammed with the following when
Ethernet cable is not connected:
SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 2188000.ethernet-1:00: lan87xx_read_status failed: -110

It still seems to work but I think that is only a fluke.

The "if (rc < 0)" is not actually checking the return value of
phy_read_poll_timeout but is looking at the value of the register
read.  I don't think rc will ever be negative in this case.  If you
change the code to "rc = phy_read_poll_timeout(...)" so that it
actually checks the error then the function will behave differently
than before.  The original code would only return an error if phy_read
returned an error.  On a timeout it just continued.  So the "if" could
be changed to "if (rc < 0 && rc != -ETIMEDOUT)".  But you will still
get the extra messages in the log that were not there before.
