This reverts commit 6c76b76dc64183eb2f24a52b90d4ff9feb4872f4.
The reverted commit worked around a potential timing issue where the
link could be reported down immediately after the link was enabled
during device start. The commit introduced a blocking wait which gave
the driver a better chance to read the correct link state before
returning from device start. However, since the auto link update flag is
set when setting the link up in device start, an adminq notification
should arrive once the link is up, which will be handled and correctly
set the link status. This means we can remove the delay from device
start as it does not need to guarantee link up before returning.
