[ Upstream commit a3a57bf07de23fe1ff779e0fdf710aa581c3ff73 ] This is a follow-up to the discussion in [0]. It seems to me that at least the IP version used on Amlogic SoC's sometimes has a problem if register MAC_CTRL_REG is written whilst the chip is still processing a previous write. But that's just a guess. Adding a delay between two writes to this register helps, but we can also simply omit the offending second write. This patch uses the second approach and is based on a suggestion from Qi Duan. Benefit of this approach is that we can save few register writes, also on not affected chip versions.

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.
