bit 24 in the Bus Mode Register represents the 8xPBL in databooks newer
than the 3.50a. In older databook it is 4xPBL.
So maybe, the DMA_BUS_MODE_4PBL define should be renamed as
DMA_BUS_PBL_MODE (to be more generic and surrounded by a nice comment
that details its meaning for different devices).

but ...

... this patch sets the FB: Fixed Burst (not set on other GMAC!) and
then always writes into the DMA_AXI_BUS_MODE register.

I agree that the DMA_AXI_BUS_MODE Reg is reserved in old devices but I'd
like to have a new platform parameter to do this kind of thing.

We could have .fixed_burst in the linux/stmmac.h (like .pbl).

If it is passed, so we set the DMA_BUS_MODE_FB in the DMA Reg 0.

In this case, we can also set the DMA reg11 but, pls, not using 0xff.
I wonder if you could improve the code adding the defines for this register.

With this approach we have no impact on other GMAC!
