Add module parameter, IO mode autoprobe and PCMCIA reset code
required to support 100 Mbit PCMCIA ethernet cards on Amiga.

10 Mbit and 100 Mbit mode are supported by the same module.
Use the core PCMCIA cftable parser to detect 16 bit cards,
and automatically enable 16 bit ISA IO access for those cards
by changing isa_type at runtime. The user must select PCCARD
and PCMCIA in the kernel config to make the necessary support
modules available

Code to reset the PCMCIA hardware required for 16 bit cards is
also added to the driver probe.

An optional module parameter switches Amiga ISA IO accessors
to 8 or 16 bit access in case autoprobe fails.

Patch modified after patch "[PATCH RFC net-next] Amiga PCMCIA
100 MBit card support" submitted to netdev 2018/09/16 by Alex
Kazik <alex@xxxxxxxx>.

What if CONFIG_PCMIA=m, and CONFIG_APNE=y?

Fails to build (undefined reference to `pcmcia_parse_tuple').

That's what 'select PCMCIA' was avoiding before, but got vetoed. I can
add a dependency on PCMCIA in the APNE Kconfig entry which does force
APNE the same as what's selected for PCMCIA, but that means we can't
build APNE without PCMCIA anymore. Is there a way to express 'constrain
build type if PCMCIA is enabled, else leave choice to user' ??

I think you should reset apne_100_mbit to zero if apne_100_mbit < 0
&& !pcmcia_is_16bit(), so rmmod + switching card + modprobe
has a chance to work.

Good catch - though when switching to another card using this same
driver, the module parameter can be used again to select IO mode or
force autoprobe.

The autoprobe won't work if the new card is 8-bit.
