[PATCH V2 03/12] net-next: mediatek: add embedded switch driver (ESW)

The ESW is found in many of the old 100mbit MIPS based SoCs. it has 5 external ports, 1 cpu port and 1 further port that the internal HW offloading engine connects to. This driver is very basic and only provides basic init and irq support. The SoC and switch core both have support for a special
