Since commit 864fdf88

 ("ucc_geth:
Fix hangs after switching from full to half duplex") ucc_geth driver
disables the controller during MAC configuration changes. Though,
disabling the controller might take quite awhile, and so the netdev
watchdog might get upset:

This patch fixes the issue by detaching the netdev during the
time we change the configuration.
