Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 1/2] net: dcbnl: remove redundant DCB_CAP_DCBX_STATIC
	bit

Remove redundant DCB_CAP_DCBX_STATIC bit in DCB capabilities

Setting this bit indicates that no embedded DCBx engine is
present and the hardware can not be configured. This is the
same as having none of the DCB capability flags set or simply
not implementing the dcbnl ops at all.

This patch removes this bit. The bit has not made a stable
release yet so removing it should not be an issue with
existing apps.
