There are a bunch of other platform support in stmmac that are doing
the same:

dwmac-s32.c is virtually identical
dwmac-imx.c does the same, although has some pre-conditions
dwmac-dwc-qos-eth.c is virually identical but the two steps are split
  across a bunch of register writes
dwmac-starfive.c looks the same
dwmac-rk.c also
dwmac-intel-plat.c also

So, I wonder whether either this should be a helper, or whether core
code should be doing this. Maybe something to look at as a part of
this patch submission?

We really need to stop writing the same code in different ways and
think more about how to reuse the code that's already present!
