H3 EMAC is the same as A83T/A64 except the SoC includes an (optional)
internal 10/100 PHY. Both internal and external PHYs are supported on H3
with this driver.
- Support DEVICE_POLLING
- Increase TX descriptors to 1024
- Add support for passing a chain of mbufs to if_input, reducing the
number of calls to mtx_unlock/mtx_lock under load.
- Remove duplicate byteswap when setting TX_INT_CTL in TX descriptor.
- Set undocumented "TX_NEXT_FRAME" bit in TX control 1 register.
According to the A83T BSP, setting this bit allows the DMA engine to
operate on a packet while receiving another.
Tested on A83T (1000Mbps PHY) and H3 (100Mbps PHY).

In some cases, the driver must handle given properties located in
specific OF subnode. Instead of creating duplicate set of function, add
'node' as argument to existing functions, defaulting it to device OF node.

The datasheets refer to this controller as EMAC, not to be confused with
the fast ethernet controller (also named EMAC) found in A10/A20 SoCs.
Tested on a BananaPi M3 (A83T), which uses an external RGMII PHY (RTL8211E).
