[U-Boot] mvgbe: enable the reception of packets with an odd number of preamble nibbles

With the current hardware initialisation of the driver all packets with
an odd number of preamble nibbles are dropped. Some switches seem to
send all packets with such an preamble.

According to the functional specifications of the marvell 88F6180,
6190, 6192 and 6281 the reception of such packets can be enabled by
setting bit 22 in register PSC1.

Do you thing setting this by default will not disturb functionality on other hardware? If so, how about encapsulating it in #ifdef with SYS_CONFIG_xx ?
