You're right, it looks like this is new functionality, not just code refactoring. I was hoping for a quick fix, and overlooked this. There are two things I think that I can do to reduce the amount of time taken up... #1, Don't do the status update every second, only have it run every 10 seconds or so. #2, Reduce the number of PHY operations. mii_phy_tick reads the status register, then nsphy_status rereads it basically immediately. I'll have to examine how the other phy drivers operate in this aspect.
