Origin patch, which introduce this read with mask,
macfg = gem_readl(bp, DMACFG) & ~GEM_BF(RXBS, -1L);
was done in 2011 and from that time this function was extended a little
bit. I am even not quite sure if make sense to read this reg and apply
setting on the top of it.

Nicolas: Isn't it better simply compose that reg from scratch?

Thanks,
