mv88e6xxx_port_setup_mac is called by mv88e6xxx_setup_port as expected and also
.phylink_mac_config. I don't think they are called that often and both deal
with configuration, so I'd prefer to keep this consistent and group the two
operations together in mv88e6xxx_port_setup_mac, if that's good for Andrew too.
