When an asynchronous RX disable is still in progress, emac_rx_enable()
waits for MR0[RXI] with

	while (!(r = in_be32(&p->mr0) & EMAC_MR0_RXI) && n)

which assigns only the RXI bit to r, as & binds tighter than =. The
following write of r | EMAC_MR0_RXE then clears every other MR0 bit,
including TXE, and TX stays stopped until the watchdog resets the EMAC.

This path is taken when RX is restarted after an RX descriptor error.

Replace the open-coded loop with read_poll_timeout_atomic(), which
stores the full register value in r.

I think the v2 conversion to read_poll_timeout_atomic() looks good. But I wonder
why you dropped the tested line in v2? Was this version not tested? Either way,
the commit message should say so.
