The PowerPC 440GX Taishan board fails to reset EMAC3 (reset timeout error)
if there's no link. Because of that it fails to find PHY chip. The older ibm_emac
driver had a workaround for that: the EMAC_CLK_INTERNAL/EMAC_CLK_EXTERNAL macros,
which toggle the Ethernet Clock Select bit in the SDR0_MFR register. This patch
does the same for "ibm,emac-440gx" compatible chips. The workaround forces
clock on -all- EMACs, so we select clock under global emac_phy_map_lock.
