The driver uses a read polling mechanism to check the status of the MDIO bus, to know if it is ready to accept next commands. This polling mechanism uses usleep_delay() under the hood between reads which is fine as long as high resolution timers are enabled. Otherwise the delays will end up to be much longer than expected. This patch fixes this by using udelay() under the hood when CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS isn't enabled. This increases CPU usage.

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.
