net/enc28j60: low power mode

Keep enc28j60 chips in low-power mode when they're not in use.
At typically 120 mA, these chips run hot even when idle; this
low power mode cuts that power usage by a factor of around 100.

This version provides a generic routine to poll a register until
its masked value equals some value ... e.g. bit set or cleared.
It's basically what the previous wait_phy_ready() did, but this
version is generalized to support the handshaking needed to
enter and exit low power mode.
