Principal purpose is to prevent the error message
ifxmips_ptm_vdsl.c:281:ptm_hard_start_xmit: not in showtime
which is printed at least once per second to the serial console, if the
ptm interface is not in showtime, but a processes already sends
packages over that interface. This happens for adsl as well as vdsl
over ptm.
It's pppd which sends packages over the ptm device before in showtime.
As far as I can see, pppd is started unconditionally since netif can
not gather the link status of the ptm network interface.

buildbot complained about
ifxmips_ptm_adsl.c:1445:70: error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given
g_net_dev[i] = alloc_netdev(0, g_net_dev_name[i], ether_setup);

fix that similar to the change made to ltq_ptm_vdsl.c

The initial fix for 3.18 in r44346 wrongly treated the newly added
parameter of alloc_netdev to be another function pointer, causing
ether_config to be skipped during ptm netdev init.
Fix this by partially reverting r44346 and properly setting the newly
added macro parameter.
(Tested on VRX200 board)
A similar change might be needed for ltq-ptm-adsl as well.
