This patch adds a realtek-smi subdriver for the RTL8365MB-VC 4+1 port
10/100/1000M switch controller. The driver has been developed based on a
GPL-licensed OS-agnostic Realtek vendor driver known as rtl8367c found
in the OpenWrt source tree.
This version is really nice!
v2 -> v3:
  - following the stats change, it became apparent that the rtl8366
    helper library is no longer that helpful; scrap it and implement
    the ethtool ops specifically for this chip
I wonder if I should just scrap it in general when I convert RTL8366RB over
to use your new nice callbacks? Just push that part down into the
driver for each chip.

I vaguely remember the RTL8366S having the same counters though...
(I think this is why it is in the shared library at all.)
