Sorry about the formatting.  It seems my e-mail system needs to be checked
to make sure it does not auto-format the contents again.

About the SPI access functions they are the same for each driver except the
low level ksz_spi_read_reg and ksz_spi_write_reg.  The dev_io_ops structure
should contain only those 2 and ksz_spi_get and ksz_spi_set.

But that requires changing ksz_spi.c.  The idea was to keep the code of
KSZ9477 driver with little change as possible while introducing another driver.

The KSZ9477 driver will need to be updated with some of the code in KSZ8795
driver regarding port membership and MIB counter reading.
