When testing the FEC driver on a mx6solox we noticed that the TDAR bit gets
always cleared prior then the READY bit is set in the last BD, which causes
FEC transmission to fail.

As explained by Ye Li:

"The TDAR bit is set when the descriptors are all out from TX ring, but the
descriptor properly is in transmitting not READY. These are two signals, and in
Ic simulation, we found the TDAR always clear prior than the READY bit of last
BD. In mx6solox, we use a latest version of FEC IP. It looks the intrinsic 
behave of TDAR bit is changed in this FEC version, not any bug in mx6sx."

Fix this by polling the READY bit of BD after the TDAR polling, which covers the
mx6solox case and does not harm for the other SoCs.

Changes since v2:
- Poll FEC_TBD_READY after polling TDAR
