Andrew, the functions are actually doing some configurations different
than EMAC mode which are needed for offloading the frames for switch as
well as HSR mode. icssg_init_emac_mode() doesn't do any configuration
related to offloading. Perhaps naming these APIs to
icssg_init_fw_offload_mode() will be a better fit?

Other Similar APIs can also be changed to use _fw_offload instead of
_switch. How does this sound?
