TL;DR: Patches / reverts needed to fix known regressions

Revert "net: fec: Use a spinlock to guard `fep->ptp_clk_on`"
Revert "fec: Restart PPS after link state change"
    revert b353b241f1eb
    revert f79959220fa5
    Rationale:
	The patches result in various tracebacks and crashes.
	https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220827160922.642zlcd5foopozru@pengutronix.de/

The need to revert those patches has been discussed repeatedly,
so going into details seems pointless.
