net/smsc911x: Fix delays in the PHY enable/disable routines



Increased delay in the smsc911x_phy_disable_energy_detect (from 1ms to 2ms).
Dropped delays in the smsc911x_phy_enable_energy_detect (100ms and 1ms).

The patch affect SMSC LAN generation 4 chips with integrated PHY (LAN9221).

I saw problems with soft reset due to wrong udelay timings.
After I fixed udelay, I measured the time needed to bring integrated PHY
from power-down to operational mode (the time beetween clearing EDPWRDOWN
bit and soft reset complete event). I got 1ms (measured using ktime_get).
The value is equal to the current value (1ms) used in the
smsc911x_phy_disable_energy_detect. It is near the upper bound and in order
to avoid rare soft reset faults it is doubled (2ms).

I don't know official timing for bringing up integrated PHY as specs doesn't
clarify this (or may be I didn't found).

It looks safe to drop delays before and after setting EDPWRDOWN bit
(enable PHY power-down mode). I didn't saw any regressions with the patch.

The patch was reviewed by Steve Glendinning and Microchip Team.
