This patch reverts5829210483("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit IO operation") andedacb098ea("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit data access"), because it turns out these were only necessary due to buggy hardware. This patch adds a check for such a buggy hardware to prevent any such mistakes again. While working further on the KS8851 driver, it came to light that the KS8851-16MLL is capable of switching bus endianness by a hardware strap, EESK pin. If this strap is incorrect, the IO accesses require such endian swapping as is being reverted by this patch. Such swapping also impacts the performance significantly. Hence, in addition to removing it, detect that the hardware is broken, report to user, and fail to bind with such hardware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
