[PATCH net-next] netcp driver fixes to build as dynamic modules

This patch introduce changes to netcp modules and makefile to build
the driver as dynamic modules. This also convert existing cpsw_ale.c
as a module so that it can be re-used across netcp and ti_cpsw drivers.
This also fixes the issue seen when build using arm allmodconfig
I have made an allmodconfig with this patch and the build succeeds.

make allmodconfig
make uImage LOADADDR=0x80008000; make modules

After the build all of the following .ko files are seen

Note: need to verify this on a platform with TI CPSW.

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_ale.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_emac.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_mdio.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/keystone_netcp_ethss.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/keystone_netcp.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/ti_cpsw.ko
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/tlan.ko

This also has dependency on the following patches for netcp :-
