Seeing that the first line of people (able to test on KSZ8795) has no
opinion, maybe it's time to turn to the second line of people.

Russell, you've expressed that this driver is "vile" for permitting
access to the same hardware register through 2 different ksz8795_regs[]
elements. Does the approach used in this patch set address your concerns,
or in other words, do you believe is it worth extending the conversion
to the KSZ switches that other people can test, such that the entire
driver ultimately benefits from the conversion?
