Right the GPMC itself may be able to translate 32-bit accesses into
16-bit. However, I have not looked at the data sheet for the smsc parts
to know what impact this would have on any register accesses in the smsc
device.

I see this too now. I was looking at the
arch/arm/mach-omap2/gpmc-smc91x.c which has SMC91X_USE_16BIT and
GPMC_CONFIG1_DEVICESIZE_16. So this is for a slightly different ethernet
chip but same concept. Hopefully, someone knew what they were doing for
those other boards!

While I can't argue with the fact it works, I would not be prepared to
make that call without reviewing the documentation for the smsc and the
driver.
