DMA ring buffers are setup for a port on which interrupts are left enabled by
the firmware.

driver simplifaction removed this ability, so I just put the required
TX_CLK_DELAY flag in the main driver instead. This does not appear to have
any affect on the Marvell PHY-based board that I tested it on.

This is a series of fixes that for problems that we've found with the Marvell
MV643xx Gigabit MAC.
* Disable interrupts on all ports during initialization
* Increment TX bytes statistics counter
* Support BCM5461 PHY initialization

This fixes a simple typo from the last set of driver simplifications patches.
Now TX bytes stats are actually incremented rather than just containing the
size of the last packet sent.

I just upgraded my local tree to 2.6.17-rc1 and see odd things with interface
statistics, namely the collisions stat appears to be uninitialized. I'm just
wondering if anyone else is seeing this; it may be a busybox bug too. This is
on a 32-bit ppc system.
