Jacky Chou 05359659c1 net: mdio: aspeed: add dummy read to avoid read-after-write issue 
[ Upstream commit d1a1a4bade ]

The Aspeed MDIO controller may return incorrect data when a read operation
follows immediately after a write. Due to a controller bug, the subsequent
read can latch stale data, causing the polling logic to terminate earlier
than expected.

To work around this hardware issue, insert a dummy read after each write
operation. This ensures that the next actual read returns the correct
data and prevents premature polling exit.

This workaround has been verified to stabilize MDIO transactions on
affected Aspeed platforms.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
