Currently, there is no network connectivity when upgrading to the
latest upstream mainline kernel on certain Loongson machines such
as Loongson-3C6000 server, because the driver for the onboard NIC
is not enabled.

Enable the Motorcomm PCI DWMAC driver as a module by default when
building for the Loongson-64 platform.

This ensures out-of-the-box support for Motorcomm YT6801 Ethernet
controllers on Loongson machines, enabling demand-loading without
increasing the core kernel image size.

YT6801 isn't a Loongson-specific peripheral, it's already shipped in
many other PCIe addon cards, and some x86 laptops iirc, thus it just
seems wrong to do this in the driver's Kconfig entry. I would NAK this
patch.
