I suggested it. There's no delay in the dwmac-sun8i driver, so after enabling
the phy power, it will start accessing it over MDIO right away, which is not
good.

I suggested the value based on post-reset delay in the PHY's datasheet (30ms).
Multiplied ~3x (if I remember correctly) to get some safety margin. Chip has
more to do then after the HW reset, and regulator also needs some time to
ramp-up.

regards,
	o.
