These might be nicer as functions with for loops

maybe something like:

static inline void MACvWriteBSSIDAddress(void __iomem *iobase, u8 *addr)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ETH_ALEN; i++)
		iowrite8(*addr++, iobase + MAC_REG_BSSID0 + i);
}

static inline void MACvReadEtherAddress(void __iomem *iobase, u8 *addr)
{
	int i;

	iowrite8(1, iobase + MAC_REG_PAGE1SEL);
	for (i = 0; i < ETH_ALEN; i++)
		*addr++ = ioread8(iobase + MAC_REG_PAR0 + i);
	iowrite8(0, iobase + MAC_REG_PAGE1SEL);
}
