[PATCH v3 1/4] kernel: vrx518_tc: fix RX desc phys to virt mapping

It looks like VRX518 returns phys addr of data buffer in the 'data_ptr'
field of the RX descriptor and an actual data offset within the buffer
in the 'byte_off' field. In order to map the phys address back to
virtual we need the original phys address of the allocated buffer.

In the same driver applies offset to phys address before the mapping,
what leads to WARN_ON triggering in plat_mem_virt() function with
subsequent kernel panic:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at .../sw_plat.c:764 0xbf306cd0 [vrx518_tc at 8af9f5d0+0x25000]
  ...
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = aff5701e
  [00000000] *pgd=00000000
  Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM

Noticed in ATM mode, when chip always returns byte_off = 4.

In order to fix the issue, pass the phys address to plat_mem_virt() as
is and apply byte_off later on mapped virtual address when copying RXed
data into the skb.

Run tested with FRITZ!Box 7530 on both ADSL and VDSL (thanks Jan) links.
