Ok, sounds good. Note that if any of this is performance critical,
better use readl_relaxed(), but as long as this is just for setup
code and not for data transfers, staying with readl() as you
suggest is better.

Here you have to be careful with the total runtime. Using usleep_range()
is a good idea, and you can have a particularly wide range, but then you
should changen the timeout condition from number of retries to total
elapsed time like

        unsigned long timeout = jiffies + HZ; /* 1 second maximum */
        do {
                ...

                if (link_up)
                        break;

                if (time_after(jiffies, timeout)
                        return -ETIMEOUT;

                usleep_range(1000, 50000);
        } while (1);
