net: ks8851-ml: Remove 8-bit bus accessors

[ Upstream commit 69233bba6543a37755158ca3382765387b8078df ]

This driver is mixing 8-bit and 16-bit bus accessors for reasons unknown,
however the speculation is that this was some sort of attempt to support
the 8-bit bus mode.

As per the KS8851-16MLL documentation, all two registers accessed via the
8-bit accessors are internally 16-bit registers, so reading them using
16-bit accessors is fine. The KS_CCR read can be converted to 16-bit read
outright, as it is already a concatenation of two 8-bit reads of that
register. The KS_RXQCR accesses are 8-bit only, however writing the top
8 bits of the register is OK as well, since the driver caches the entire
16-bit register value anyway.

Finally, the driver is not used by any hardware in the kernel right now.
The only hardware available to me is one with 16-bit bus, so I have no
way to test the 8-bit bus mode, however it is unlikely this ever really
worked anyway. If the 8-bit bus mode is ever required, it can be easily
added by adjusting the 16-bit accessors to do 2 consecutive accesses,
which is how this should have been done from the beginning.
