[PATCH] de2104x: wrong MAC address fix

[Martin Langer]

The de2104x returns sometimes a wrong MAC address. The wrong one is 
like the original one, but it comes with an one byte shift. I found 
this bug on an older alpha ev5 cpu. More details are available in Gentoo 
bugreport #240718.

It seems the hardware is sometimes a little bit too slow for an 
immediate access. This patch solves the problem by introducing a small 
udelay.
