[PATCH net-next] net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix dma_unmap_single() direction

In emac_send_command_sr1(), the command data is mapped with direction
DMA_TO_DEVICE. However, in prueth_process_rx_mgm(), dma_unmap_single()
is called with direction DMA_FROM_DEVICE. It seems like the buffer is
written to by the CPU before mapping the buffer; and, after mapping the
buffer, the device writes to the buffer. The DMA_TO_DEVICE direction will
handle well the cache maintenance operations, however, if the IOMMU is
enabled, it may cause issues with device write permissions.

Change direction to DMA_BIDIRECTIONNAL.

This bug was statically found and compile-tested only.
