This bug was noticed while re-implementing parts of the kernel
driver in userspace using spidev. The goal was to enable some
of the errata workarounds that Microchip describes in their
errata sheet [1].

Both the errata sheet and the regular datasheet of e.g. the KSZ8795
imply that you need to do this for indirect register accesses:
- write a 16-bit value to a control register pair (this value
  consists of the indirect register table, and the offset inside
  the table)
- either read or write an 8-bit value from the data storage
  register (indicated by REG_IND_BYTE in the kernel)

The current implementation has the order swapped. It can be
proven, by reading back some indirect register with known content
(the EEE register modified in ksz8_handle_global_errata() is one of
these), that this implementation does not work.

Private discussion with Oleksij Rempel of Pengutronix has revealed
that the workaround was apparantly never tested on actual hardware.
