Subject: [PATCH] ath79: ar8216: make switch register access atomic

due to some unknown reason these register accesses sometimes fail
on the integrated switch without this patch.

THIS ONLY WORKS ON ATH79 AND MAY BREAK THE DRIVER ON OTHER PLATFORMS!
The mdio bus on ath79 works in polling mode and doesn't rely on
any interrupt. This patch breaks the driver on any mdio master
with interrupts used.
