This, plus the fact that mv88e6xxx_rmu_setup() already exists in the
tree, and calls chip->info->ops->rmu_disable(). It seems like that
doesn't need to change. Mattias is moving it around, and makes it seem
as if something is being changed. Maybe simple code movement could be
split into a separate change.
