Improve mdio master read/write by using singe mii read/write lo/hi. In a read and write we need to poll the mdio master regs in a busy loop to check for a specific bit present in the upper half of the reg. We can ignore the other half since it won't contain useful data. This will save an additional useless read for each read and write operation. In a read operation the returned data is present in the mdio master reg lower half. We can ignore the other half since it won't contain useful data. This will save an additional useless read for each read operation. In a read operation it's needed to just set the hi half of the mdio master reg as the lo half will be replaced by the result. This will save an additional useless write for each read operation. Tested-by: Ronald Wahl <ronald.wahl@raritan.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
