On the LeMaker Banana Pi, probing the external ethernet PHY connected
to the SoC's internal GMAC module sometimes fails. The PHY power
supply is handled via a GPIO-controlled regulator, and the existing
regulator startup-delay of 50000us is too short to make sure that the
PHY is always fully powered up when it is queried by phylib. Tests
have shown that to provide a reliable PHY detection, the startup-delay
has to be increased to at least 60000us. To have a certain safety margin
and to cater for manufacturing variations between different boards,
the delay gets set to 100000us as discussed on the linux-arm-kernel
mailinglist.
