work fine on 9263ek except the IP version detection.

the at91 macb ip version is supposed to be at 0x0601010C but it's not.
At least on 9263 it's 0x0001010C. So we can not detect the arch at runtime
but we can detect that it's a macb.

So could keep the ifdef for 2 archs but use the ip version on arm
OK, well I think my patches are already doing that so should be OK as 
they are.

Russell, are you able to take these through your tree (I think they 
count as consolidation work) or should I ask Stephen for a tree in 
linux-next for a while first?
no please do not us the is_gem but the same way as I did in the ip detection
keep the version register and then check it.

as this ip can be used on other arch we do not want to see thousands 
of is_xxx
But GEM isn't an architecture/machine type, it's a new Cadence Ethernet 
controller that follows on from MACB, not some arch specific tweaks so 
we really only have two options - MACB or GEM.

Still, if it's important to you then I'll make the change.
