[PATCH] forcedeth boot delay fix

[Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 299 bytes --]

This patch fixes a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver. During 
initialization, the timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and 
driver can be very long. The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a 
extra loop around the timeout logic.
