Subject: [net-next 2/3] ravb: Remove undocumented processing

From: Kazuya Mizuguchi <kazuya.mizuguchi.ks@...esas.com>

This patch removes the use of the undocumented registers
CDCR, LCCR, CERCR, CEECR and the undocumented BOC bit of the CCC register.

Current documentation for EtherAVB (ravb) describes the offset of
what the driver uses as the BOC bit as reserved and that only a value of
0 should be written. Furthermore, the offsets used for the undocumented
registers are also considered reserved nd should not be written to.

After some internal investigation with Renesas it remains unclear
why this driver accesses these fields but regardless of what the historical
reasons are the current code is considered incorrect.
