ice: exit bypass mode once hardware finishes timestamp calibration
Once the E822 device has sent and received one packet, the hardware computes the internal delay of the PHY using a process known as Vernier calibration. This calibration calculates a more accurate offset for the Tx and Rx timestamps. To make use of this offset, we need to exit the bypass mode. This cannot be done until the PHY has completed offset calibration, as indicated by the offset valid bits. To handle this, introduce a kthread work item which will poll the offset valid bits every few milliseconds seeing if it is safe to exit bypass mode. Once we have finished calibrating the offsets, we can program the total Tx and Rx offset registers and turn off the bypass bit. This allows the hardware to include the more precise vernier calibration offset, and improves the timestamp precision.
