Add byte_enable for ocp_read_word() to replace reading 4
bytes data with reading the desired 2 bytes data.
This is used to avoid the issue which is described in
commit b4d99def0938 ("r8152: remove sram_read"). The
original method always reads 4 bytes data, and it may
have problem when reading the PHY registers.
The new method is supported since RTL8153B, but it
doesn't influence the previous chips. The bits of the
byte_enable for the previous chips are the reserved
bits, and the hw would ignore them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
