This is important patch for new devices that support unaligned
addressing. That devices suffer from the backward-compatibility bug in
DMA engine. In theory we should be able to use old mechanism, but in
practice DMA address seems to be randomly copied into status register
when hardware reaches end of a ring. This breaks reading slot number
from status register and we can't use DMA anymore.

Some devices (BCM4749, BCM5357, BCM53572) have internal switch that
requires initialization. We already have code for this, but because
of the typo in code it was never working. This resulted in network not
working for some routers and possibility of soft-bricking them.
Use correct bit for switch initialization and fix typo in the define.

Some callers may want to know if PHY write succeed. Also make PHY
functions static, they are not exported anywhere.

BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA
based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This
patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It
has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets.
In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common
things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to
the decision or writing a new driver:
1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44)
2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one
3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC
4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1)
5) Many registers have different addresses/values
6) RX header flags are also different
The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course
place for improvements:
1) Supporting more net_device_ops
2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops
3) Unaligned addressing in DMA
4) Writing separated PHY driver
