why eth_initalize? rest of the OMAP3 boards dont seem to be doing that

I would expect that and did check too, but why:
smc911x: Invalid chip endian 0xdee0013d
when I had a base address and device which was supported by LAN91C96 
legacy driver?

My lack of network chip knowledge is kicking me at the moment.. trying 
to find the device data sheet internally @ TI..
