Subject: ARM: kirkwood: fix to retain gbe MAC addresses for DT kernels

From: Sebastian Hesselbarth <[email protected]>

commit 7bf5b408b419fc849578e6e9fbd221bf43638eb6 upstream.

The ethernet controller used on kirkwood looses its MAC address
register contents when the corresponding clock is gated. As soon as
mv643xx_eth is built as module, the clock gets gated and when loading
the module, the MAC address is gone.

Proper DT support for the mv643xx_eth driver is expected soon, so we add
a workaround to always enable ge0/ge1 clocks on kirkwood. This workaround
is also already used on non-DT kirkwood kernels.
