[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v3] ice: fall back to SBQ when LL PHY timer interface times out

[Przemyslaw Korba]

The low-latency (LL) PHY timer interface relies on a tight, atomic poll
of the PF_SB_ATQBAL register with a 2ms timeout. After an NVM update /
EMPR, FW may need significantly longer than 2ms to start responding to
ATQBAL commands. The first PHY adjust or incval write issued by
ice_ptp_rebuild_owner() fails with -ETIMEDOUT.

Fix this by falling back to the existing SBQ-based PHY register write
path when LL times out. This makes sure PTP is initialized when FW takes
longer than expected to come back online.

Steps to reproduce:
./nvmupdate64e -if devlink -f
Update E810 card with nvmupdate64e, and observe dmesg errors:
  Failed to write PHC increment value, status -110
  PTP reset failed, error: -110 (-ETIMEDOUT)

v3:
* actually add TIMEDOUT check in ice_prep_phy_adj_e810 (did do it)
v2:
* add TIMEDOUT check in ice_prep_phy_adj_e810 (did not do it)
