The ordering of accesses to the rx & tx descriptors is important, yet
the send & recv functions accessed them via regular structure accesses.
This leaves the compiler with the opportunity to reorder those accesses
or to hoist them outside of loops. Prevent that from happening by using
readl & writel to access the descriptors. As a nice bonus, this removes
the need for the driver to care about endianness.

The RX buffers are invalidated when a packet is received, however they
were not suitably cache-line aligned. Allocate them seperately to the
pcnet_priv structure and align to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN in order to ensure
suitable alignment for the cache invalidation, preventing anything else
being placed in the same lines & lost.

The prior accesses to the descriptor rings & init block via cached
memory had a few issues:
- The memory needs cache flushes or invalidation at the appropriate
times, but was not necessarily aligned on cache line boundaries.
This could lead to data being incorrectly lost or written back to
RAM at the wrong time.
- There are points where ordering of writes to the memory is
important, but because it's cached memory the pcnet controller
would see cache lines written back ordered by address. This could
occasionally lead to hardware seeing descriptors in an incorrect
state.
- Flushing the cache constantly is inefficient.
So, to avoid all of those issues simply access the descriptors & init
block via uncached memory. The MIPS-specific UNCACHED_SDRAM macro is
used to do this (retrieving an address in kseg1) as I could see no
existing generic solution. Since the MIPS Malta board is the only user
of the pcnet driver, hopefully this doesn't matter.

The MPC824x processors have long reached EOL, and the PN62 board has
not seen any board-specific updates for more than a decade. It is now
causing build issues. Instead of wasting time on things nobody is
interested in any more, we rather drop this board.

On relatively slow boards (such as the MIPS Malta with an FPGA core
card) it can be extremely common for transmits to underflow - to the
point where it appears they simply do not work at all. Setting the
NOUFLO bit causes the ethernet controller to not begin transmission on
the wire until a transmit start point is reached. Setting that transmit
start point to the full packet will cause the controller to only
transmit the packet once it has buffered it entirely thus preventing any
transmit underflows from occuring and allowing the controller to
function on slower boards.

Ensure that the view of memory from the CPU & the ethernet controller is
coherent at the various points where they exchange data. This prevents
stale data from being transmitted or received, and prevents the driver
from getting stuck waiting for the ethernet controller to update
descriptors when in reality it has but the old values are being read
from cache.

Fix up the code to match Documentation/CodingStyle. This is mostly
removing extraneous spaces.
No functional change is intended.

The pcnet driver uses the pci_phys_to_mem function
to get the memory address of the DMA buffers. This
This assumes an 1:1 mapping between the PCI and
physical memory which is not true on all platforms.
On MIPS platform U-Boot is running within a mapped
memory region, and the pci_phys_to_mem macro can't
be used to obtain the memory address of the buffers.

Change return values of init() functions in all Ethernet drivers to conform
to the following:
>=0: Success
<0: Failure
All drivers going forward should return 0 on success. Current drivers that
return 1 on success were left as-is to minimize changes.
