FEC: Rework the TX wait mechanism
The mechanism waiting for transmission to finish in fec_send() now relies on the E-bit being cleared in the TX buffer descriptor. In case of data cache being on, this means invalidation of data cache above this TX buffer descriptor on each test for the E-bit being cleared. Apparently, there is another way to check if the transmission did complete. This is by checking the TDAR bit in the X_DES_ACTIVE register. Reading a register does not need any data cache invalidation, which is beneficial. Rework the sequence that wait for completion of the transmission so that the TDAR bit is tested first and afterwards check the E-bit being clear. This cuts down the number of cache invalidation calls to one.
