I don't really understand, 500 microsec is really not that much time...

The funny thing is that it seems the _first_ phy_read call always
returns only when the 0x8000 bit is gone (I got this while loop from the
xircom_tulip driver).
I didn't have time yet to test how long it takes without the phy_read to
make it work (ie if we would only raise udelay(500) to some bigger
value).
