These 2 patches fixed misuse of register for 88e1111.

Notice: These two patches didn't fix some auto selection problem
yet. I will discuss the problem in seperate email.

Hi,

I have a board here with a pair of 88e1111's, though I'm not sure how to go about testing these patches. It's not the applying or compiling that the problem, but how to test it...

Do you have any test case in mind?

Hi,

The problem I want to fix is:

1. Plug the fiber and start the board in u-boot, the fiber link is 
established, you can transfer data using fiber link;

2. boot the kernel (not fixed one),  when you "ifconfig ethX up" (ethX 
uses 88e1111), the fiber link light goes off, the fiber link is lost;

After apply the patch #1, for the step 2, you can "ifconfig ethX 
w.x.y.z" and fiber link is ok. You can use the fiber link to transfer data.

I my case, the chip is in GMII mode. The patch #2 is obvious but I can't 
test it myself.

BTW, the two patches doesn't fix the problem when you unplug the fiber 
then plug back. That is another problem I have _partially_ fixed by 
patch marvell_read_status().
