There's more than just the tunables themselves - there's also
config_init().

We already need to reject downshift when old firmware is running,
as that fails to work correctly. So, we can just do that for
88E211x as well, adding a flag to struct mv3310_chip to indicate
whether downshift is present. Sound sensible?
