Subject: bcmgenet's custom ->ndo_select_queue()

While fixing a build warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c:2293:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

I see that bcmgenet's implementation is:

	return netif_is_multiqueue(dev) ? skb->queue_mapping : 0;

That makes no sense at all.

You should only define an overriding function here if you want to do
something uniqueue, and not use the default.

If you don't assign the queue mapping, it's not even going to be
set when your select_queue method is called.  In _FACT_ that's the
reason it is called, to get the queue mapping set.

I'm just deleting this completely, I hope you don't mind.
