This commit reverts 42f3c1f ("arc770: fix broken upstream change")
and simultaneously adds back-ported fix from Linus' tree:
a524c218bc94 ("ARC: [arcompact] brown paper bag bug in unaligned
access delay slot fixup").
Note mentioned patch will appear in stable trees soon as well so
IMHO there's not much sense in adding this separate patch in lede/master branch.
As well as we will get rid of it here in 17.01 once we bump 4.4 kernel here
later down the line.

DW GMAC on ARC SDP boards doesn't enter promiscuous mode if
Ethernet PHY haven't got established link. Good examples are
auto-negotiation in progress or disconnected cable.
We do see Linux kernel sets GMAC's MAC filter register
properly but GMAC's hardware doesn't accept new settings.
We believe it is a hardware issue, most probably problem of
integration of DW GMAC and PHY on the board.
As a work-around we completely disable frame filtering
in GMAC hardware (once and for good) which forces GMAC to enter
promiscuous mode with the first write to MAC filter register.
That gives us working bridge that consists of eth0 and wlan0
(USB Wi-Fi dongle). I.e. we finally have working "Dumb AP" setup made
of ARC AXS10x boards.
Given that hack is quite dirty (in loaded wired networks this will
effectively load CPU with junk packets even if user doesn't need promisc
mode) and there's no indication any other boards with DW GMAC suffer
from the same issue we're patching only kernel for ARC boards.

Given those patches are relevant to any ARC platform and even
ISA version it makes perfect sense for patches to exist
in one place instead of being duplicated for each new ARC-based ASIC.
Note this is a prerequisite for upstreaming of ARC HS38 support in
OpenWRT.

This switch involved:
[1] Regeneration of config (few options went away)
[2] Regeneration of patches so they apply cleanly (different offsets)
[3] Update of .dts files because we now explicitly specify
memory regions in use as opposed to previously used offset
from 0x8000_0000
