An earlier commit re-worked the setting of the bitmask and is now
assigning v with some bit flags rather than bitwise or-ing them
into v, consequently the earlier bit-settings of v are being lost.
Fix this by replacing an assignment with the bitwise or instead.

I'm not sure the "Fixes" attribute is correct.

The changes for this section in commit 2be25cac8402 are

- v = (1 << 30); /* Start of Transaction */
- v |= (1 << 28); /* Write Transaction */
- v |= (1 << 17); /* Turnaround */
- v |= (0x1F << 18);
+ v = BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_START;
+ v |= BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_WRITE;
+ v |= (BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_DEV_ADDR <<
+ BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_DEVADDR_SHF);
+ v |= (BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_BLK_ADDR <<
+ BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_REGADDR_SHF);
+ v |= BCMA_CORE_PCI_MDIODATA_TA;

Because the code has done quite a bit of work on v just above this section, I agree that this is likely an error, but that error happened in an earlier commit. Thus 2be25cac8402 did not introduce the error, merely copied it.

Has this change been tested?
