net: stmmac: work around sporadic tx issue on link-up

This is a follow-up to the discussion in [0]. It seems to me that
at least the IP version used on Amlogic SoC's sometimes has a problem
if register MAC_CTRL_REG is written whilst the chip is still processing
a previous write. But that's just a guess.
Adding a delay between two writes to this register helps, but we can
also simply omit the offending second write. This patch uses the second
approach and is based on a suggestion from Qi Duan.
Benefit of this approach is that we can save few register writes, also
on not affected chip versions.
