there is 10ms delay in lpc32xx_eth_initialize() and 2ms delay in
lpc32xx_eth_halt(), do we need another delay in lpc32xx_eth_init()?

In fact I believe lpc32xx_eth_halt() realization may be improved, I
think that soft reset is not needed there, just stopping TX/RX should be
fine. But this is another patch and it needs thorough testing.

Do you compare performance of my change against my change plus added 10?
Or my change against legacy BSP? Could you please send me a proposed
change for testing, I'm not sure I have access to the legacy BSP from NXP.

Myself I tested a big number of adjusted/added delays and updates to
lpc32xx_eth_init() and lpc32xx_eth_halt(), but my primary optimized
value, as you can see from the commit message of the previous patch, is
time to complete autonegotiation. Download rate can be optimized
separately, may be you can send a patch on top of this series to let me
test it on my side? Also which PHY do you test?

All in all thank you so much for testing and shared info!

With best wishes,
Vladimir
