Good catch - yes, should be MDIO_DELAY not 5000.  I had found that 50
was not enough so I had upped it in my testing - forgot to change it back :(

I'd also suggest the default MDIO_DELAY be increased from its present
value of 50 to perhaps 100 or 150...  Does anyone know what the slowest
possible EPB clock speed is?
