Hi,
I've taken Nico's comments on board and used lp->work_pending to detect
whether smc_phy_configure is pending or not instead of dev_hold/put(). I
was able to do away with smc_phy_configure_wq() from the previous
version since setting lp->work_pending=0 can safely be done in
smc_phy_configure() itself, unlike dev_put().
Also fixed a typo 'ence' -> 'Hence' and renamed smc_detect_phy to
smc_phy_detect in order to follow the same pattern as the other
smc_phy_* functions, I was typing smc_phy_detect() every time anyway and
it was getting on my wick. I hope that's OK...
