This patch prevents switch-robo.c from attempting robo_probe on a port
that is already registered. robo_probe will adjust kernel reference counts
if it detects a switch on the port. If this patch wasn't applied, the
wrt350n would hang on reboot, waiting for the network driver reference count
to reach zero indefinitely.

This patch allows the bcm57xx module to work correctly with failsafe mode.
insmod doesn't return an error when a module loads but doesn't detect a switch.
I added the check_module function to load the module, then make sure
it doesn't just exit immediately. This allows preinit to only attempt to
load the bcm57xx module when switch-robo and switch-adm dont detect a switch.
The activate_gpio parameter to bcm57xx simply instructs the module to attempt
to activate the switch via gpio before probing for the switch.
Tested on wrt350n.

Update the netconfig script to support boardtype 0x478. I've tested this
on the wrt350n, hopefully it will match the 600n as well.

I've been working to finish up the bcm57xx module package nbd
posted a few months ago. I am no expert, just had some spare
time and some motivation. Here is the background:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2744
This first patch disables the bcm57xx gpio setup in broadcom-diag.
The switch needs to be initialized by the driver so the driver can
then reset the switch ASAP. If the switch isn't reset quickly enough,
it will forward packets between the WAN and LAN, which will cause
problems with modems that only allow one mac to access the internet.
Tested on wrt350n.
