Subject: [PATCH v2 21/21] net: thunderx: Don't set RX_PACKET_DIS while initializing

From: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@...ium.com>

Setting BGXX_SPUX_MISC_CONTROL::RX_PACKET_DIS is not needed as
packet reception is anyway disabled by BGXX_CMRX_CONFIG::DATA_PKT_RX_EN.
Also setting RX_PACKET_DIS causes a bogus remote fault condition
which delays link detection.
