Current regmap bulk access is broken, resulting to wrong reads/writes
if ksz_read64/ksz_write64 functions are used.
Mostly this issue was visible by using ksz8_fdb_dump(), which returned
corrupt MAC address.

The reason is that regmap was configured to have max_raw_read/write,
even if ksz8863_mdio_read/write functions are able to handle unlimited
read/write accesses. On ksz_read64 function we are using multiple 32bit
accesses by incrementing each access by 1 instead of 4. Resulting buffer
had 01234567.12345678 instead of 01234567.89abcdef.

We have multiple ways to fix it:
- enable 4 byte alignment for 32bit accesses. Since the HW do not have
this requirement. It will break driver.
- disable max_raw_* limit.

This patch is removing max_raw_* limit for regmap accesses in ksz8863_smi.
