As Andrew Lunn pointed out, MDIO has nothing to do with phy, and indeed
increase polling iteration can resolve the issue.

The root cause is quite likely Intel ME, since it's a blackbox to the
kernel so the only approach we can take is to be patient and wait
longer.

v3:
 - Moving delay to end of loop doesn't save anytime, move it back.
 - Point out this is quitely likely caused by Intel ME.

v2:
 - Increase polling iteration instead of powering down the phy.
