Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v1 1/3] ice: remove SW side band access workaround for E825

From: Karol Kolacinski <karol.kolacinski@...el.com>

Due to the bug in FW/NVM autoload mechanism (wrong default
SB_REM_DEV_CTL register settings), the access to peer PHY and CGU
clients was disabled by default.
As the workaround solution, the register value was overwritten by the
driver at the probe or reset handling.
Remove workaround as it's not needed anymore. The fix in autoload
procedure has been provided with NVM 3.80 version.
