When reviewing my LAN9118 driver PCD patch [1], Ard Biesheuvel noted
that most calls to gBS->Stall() in this driver seem to be used to
prevent timing issues between the device updating data and the host
reading the values. And that replacing most of these calls with a
MemoryFence() would be more robust.
The only exceptions are the stalls that are enclosed inside retry loops:
- in the AutoNegotiate() function.
This stall is waiting for the link to negotiate, which may require
stalling until it is ready.
- in the Lan9118Initialize() function.
These two stalls are waiting for devices and time out after a number
of retries.
- in the SoftReset() function.
This stall is inside a loop where the comment states:
"If time taken exceeds 100us, then there was an error condition"
In these instances, I kept the stall, but also added a MemoryFence().

The UEFI specification does not require the initialisation and reset
interface to check if an Ethernet cable is connected or not, and provides
the GetStatus() interface to do this. Furthermore, the 'Managed Network
Protocol' take care of the cable connection check in edk2 network stack.

Correct the setting of the hardware filters according to what it asked
to the driver through the ReceiveFilters() interface function.
Keep track of the hardware settings in the "ReceiveFilterSetting" field of
the EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_MODE structure.
From now, after initialization, all filters are disabled and thus no packet
received.

- Make the function PhySoftReset() return EFI_STATUS
- EFI_STATUS was treated as a signed integer by the caller which is not correct.
