The rnpgbe mailbox exchanges data through 32-bit MMIO registers in
little-endian wire format. The original code had two problems:
1. FW structs (with __le16/__le32 fields) were cast to (u32 *)
before reaching the mailbox transport, hiding the endian
annotations from sparse.
2. No cpu_to_le32()/le32_to_cpu() conversion was done between
CPU-endian MMIO values and the little-endian payload, causing
data corruption on big-endian systems.
Fix by adding the missing byte-order conversions in the transport
layer and introducing union wrappers (mbx_fw_cmd_req_u,
mbx_fw_cmd_reply_u) that overlay each FW struct with a __le32
dwords[] array. Callers fill named fields using cpu_to_le16/32(),
then pass dwords[] to the transport, which now takes explicit
__le32 * instead of u32 *. This eliminates all pointer casts on
the mailbox data path and lets sparse verify the conversions.

... and PCI device helpers.
The various struct pci_device_id arrays were initialized mostly by one
the PCI_DEVICE macros and then list expressions. The latter isn't easily
readable if you're not into PCI. Using named initializers is more
explicit and thus easier to parse.
Also use PCI_DEVICE* helper macros to assign .vendor, .device,
.subvendor and .subdevice where appropriate and skip explicit
assignments of 0 (which the compiler takes care of).
The secret plan is to make struct pci_device_id::driver_data an
anonymous union (similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1776579304.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/)
and that requires named initializers. But it's also a nice cleanup on
its own.
This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled pci_device_id
arrays. Tested on x86 and arm64.

Complete the network device (netdev) registration flow for Mucse Gbe
Ethernet chips, including:
1. Hardware state initialization:
- Send powerup notification to firmware (via echo_fw_status)
- Sync with firmware
- Reset hardware
2. MAC address handling:
- Retrieve permanent MAC from firmware (via mucse_mbx_get_macaddr)
- Fallback to random valid MAC (eth_random_addr) if not valid mac
