You need to determine to use Loongson register or general dwmac1000
register definition at *runtime*, not *compile time*.

Or when people enable CONFIG_DWMAC_LOONGSON (for a release build of
kernel in a mainstream distro the maintainers often enable as many
drivers as possible) they'll suddenly find their dwmac1000's are broken
and we'll get many bug reports.
