This patch avoids PHY and MDIO probing if no PHY chip is present.
This is the case mainly in optical links where there is no need for
PHY chip, and therefore no need of MDIO. In this scenario Ethernet
MAC is directly connected to an optical module through an external
SFP transceiver.

Move PHY get addr and MDIO create to a new function to improve readability
and make it easier to avoid its usage. This will be useful for example in
the case where there is no PHY chip.

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was
already called there.
Follow commits c706471b26 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary
ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb3 ("net: ll_temac:
Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the
pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

This patch disables multicast hash filtering if present in the hardware
and uses promiscuous mode instead until the problem with multicast
filtering has been debugged, integrated and tested.

This patch fixes the many sparse errors and warnings contained in the
initial submission of the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet driver, and a
few minor cppcheck warnings. Changes are tested on ARM and NIOS2
example designs, and compile tested against multiple architectures.
Typical issues addressed were as follows:
altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: warning: incorrect type in argument
1 (different address spaces)
altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: expected void const volatile
[noderef] <asn:2>*addr
altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: got unsigned int *<noident>
...
altera_sgdma.c:129:31: warning: cast removes address space of
expression

This patch works around a recently discovered unaligned receive dma problem
with the Altera SGMDA. The Altera SGDMA component cannot be configured to
DMA data to unaligned addresses for receive packet operations from the
Triple Speed Ethernet component because of a potential data transfer
corruption that can occur. This patch addresses this issue by
utilizing the shift 16 bits feature of the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet
component and modifying the receive buffer physical addresses accordingly
such that the target receive DMA address is always aligned on a 32-bit
boundary.
