1. Just drop the timeout local variable and use the 500000 literal
directly. There is no point in such parametrization especially you
have already added the delay as is.

2. A more traditional, readable and maintainable pattern is the
error-check statement after the call. So seeing you are changing this
part of the method anyway, let's convert it to:

+	ret = readl_poll_timeout(ioaddr + GMAC_VLAN_TAG, val,
+				 !(val & GMAC_VLAN_TAG_CTRL_OB),
+				 1000, timeout);
+	if (ret) {
+		netdev_err(dev, "Timeout accessing MAC_VLAN_Tag_Filter\n");
+		return ret;
+	}
+
+	return 0;
