Although this enables an improvement for EMAC4SYNC, this is a regression
for the EMAC and EMAC4 hardware versions.  The driver now reads
registers at undefined addresses and produces a register dump that is
incompatible with existing ethtool releases.

Although you've tried to change ethtool to match this, the kernel and
ethtool don't generally get upgraded in lockstep so the driver should
keep working with old versions of ethtool if possible (which it is).

The size of the MAC register dumps for EMAC and EMAC4 should continue to
be what ethtool assumes they are now - 112 and 116 bytes respectively.
Please fix this.

Ben.
