Summary

Add a lock for MII bus operations and drop ticks if the lock is held to
work-around a race condition in the MII bus layer, see:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252165

. Tested with the EVB-LAN7800LC-1 MICROCHIP LAN7800 evaluation board.

This should fix Ethernet on the Raspberry Pi 3 and some other models
possibly.
