Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: actually force the speed on the CPU port

Commit 54d792f257c6 ("net: dsa: Centralise global and port setup
code into mv88e6xxx.") merged in the 4.2 merge window broke the link
speed forcing for the CPU port of Marvell DSA switches.  The original
code was:

        /* MAC Forcing register: don't force link, speed, duplex
         * or flow control state to any particular values on physical
         * ports, but force the CPU port and all DSA ports to 1000 Mb/s
         * full duplex.
         */
        if (dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, p) || ds->dsa_port_mask & (1 << p))
                REG_WRITE(addr, 0x01, 0x003e);
        else
                REG_WRITE(addr, 0x01, 0x0003);

but the new code does a read-modify-write:

                reg = _mv88e6xxx_reg_read(ds, REG_PORT(port), PORT_PCS_CTRL);
                if (dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port) ||
                    ds->dsa_port_mask & (1 << port)) {
                        reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_FORCE_LINK |
                                PORT_PCS_CTRL_LINK_UP |
                                PORT_PCS_CTRL_DUPLEX_FULL |
                                PORT_PCS_CTRL_FORCE_DUPLEX;
                        if (mv88e6xxx_6065_family(ds))
                                reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_100;
                        else
                                reg |= PORT_PCS_CTRL_1000;

The link speed in the PCS control register is a two bit field.  Forcing
the link speed in this way doesn't ensure that the bit field is set to
the correct value - on the hardware I have here, the speed bitfield
remains set to 0x03, resulting in the speed not being forced to gigabit.

We must clear both bits before forcing the link speed.
