Revert "net: mvneta: fix usage as a module on RGMII configurations"
This reverts commit e3a8786c. While this commit allows to use the mvneta driver as a module on some configurations, it breaks other configurations even if mvneta is used built-in. This breakage is due to the fact that on some RGMII platforms, the PCS bit has to be set, and on some other platforms, it has to be cleared. At the moment, we lack informations to know exactly the significance of this bit (the datasheet only says "enables PCS"), and so we can't produce a patch that will work on all platforms at this point. And since this change is breaking the network completely for many users, it's much better to revert it for now. We'll come back later with a proper fix that takes into account all platforms. Basically: * Armada XP GP is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be set. * Armada 370 Mirabox is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be cleared. And at the moment, we don't know how to make the distinction between those two cases. One hint is that the Armada XP GP appears in fact to be using a QSGMII connection with the PHY (Quad-SGMII), but configuring it as SGMII doesn't work, while RGMII-ID works. This needs more investigation, but in the mean time, let's unbreak the network for all those users.
