Hi Russell,

I did not find any commit for this in 3.13-rc4.

Would you prefer I submit my attempt at refactoring the
orion_mdio_wait_ready() code ?

I prefer this patch (which I think you originally proposed) because it is just as
correct and the code size is a bit smaller in arm mode, and the same size in thumb
mode (on my compiler gcc 4.7.2, at least). I coded the loop in that way to make it
small.

I don't mind submitting it to David as I made the mistake in the first place.

Regards,

Leigh.
