Now that the PHY reset logic includes a role-specific asymmetric delay to avoid synchronized reset deadlocks, the previously used randomized polling intervals are no longer necessary. This patch removes the get_random_u32_below()-based logic and introduces an adaptive polling strategy: - Fast polling for a short time after link-down - Slow polling if the link remains down - Slower polling when the link is up This balances CPU usage and responsiveness while avoiding reset collisions. Additionally, the driver still relies on polling for all link state changes, as interrupt support is not implemented, and link-up events are not reliably signaled by the PHY. The polling parameters are now documented in the updated top-of-file comment.

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 reStructuredText 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.
