[POWERPC] 86xx: mpc8610_hpcd: use ULI526X driver for on-board ethernet

As of current mainline tree, TULIP driver is unusable on MPC8610HPCD
boards. There is a patch[1] floating around (and also included in the
BSP), which tries to heal the situation, though the ethernet is still
unusable. Practically it takes ages to mount NFS filesystem:

VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k init
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying

So, instead of trying to add uli526x functionality into TULIP driver
(which is already bloated enough), I fixed existing ULI526X driver
and now it works perfectly well here.
