EMAC_DEF_PROM_CH is not denoting bit 0 but denoting which DMA channel to
be used to transfer promiscuous packet (i.e other MAC packets which
doesn't belong to us) from EMAC to DDR.

The existing code is correct but it can be simplified as you have
mentioned here to make code review simpler. Will prepare a patch and
submit to mailing list soon.
