Subject: [net-next 11/12] e1000e: use hardware default values for Transmit Control register

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

This code snippet is simply writing default values to the register which is
unnecessary since the values are programmed into the register by default.
There is a special case for 80003es2lan needing the Retransmit on Late
Collision bit set but that is also done in e1000_init_hw_80003es2lan().
