[PATCH 2/2] DM9000B: Fix PHY power for network down/up

DM9000 revision B needs 1 ms delay after PHY power on (see spec), and PHY
power must on in register DM9000_GPR before all other settings will change.
Remember, that register DM9000_GPR was not changed by reset sequence.

Without these fix the FIFO goes out of sync and sends wrong data after
sequence of "ifconfig ethX down ; sleep 3 ; ifconfig ethX up".
