Note this may break the platforms which don't support non-32 MMIOs for
some devices. None of the currently supported glue-drivers explicitly
state they have such peculiarity, but at the same time the STMMAC-core
driver at the present state uses the dword IO ops only. For instance
the PCIe subsystem has the special accessors for such cases:
pci_generic_config_read32()
pci_generic_config_write32()
which at the very least are utilized on the Tegra and Loongson
platforms to access the host CSR spaces. These platforms are also
equipped with the DW MACs. The problem might be irrelevant for all the
currently supported DW MAC controllers implementations though, but
still it worth to draw an attention to the problem possibility and in
order to prevent it before ahead it would be better to just avoid
using the byte-/word- IOs if it's possible.
