If the MAC controller does not connect to any PHY interface, there is a missing clock, then the DMA reset fails. For this case, the DMA_BUS_MODE_SFT_RESET bit is 1 before software reset, just print an error message which gives a hint the PHY clock is missing, and then return -EINVAL immediately to avoid waiting for the timeout when the DMA reset fails in loongson_dwmac_fix_reset(). With this patch, for the normal end user, the computer start faster with reducing boot time for 2 seconds on the specified mainboard.
