Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next v2 07/19] net: stmmac: remove RGMII "pcs" mode

Remove the RGMII "pcs" code in stmmac_check_pcs_mode() due to:

1) This should never have been conditional on a PCS being present, as
   when a core is synthesised using only RGMII, the PCS won't be present
   and priv->dma_cap.pcs will be false. Only multi-interface cores which
   have a PCS present would have detected RGMII.

2) STMMAC_PCS_RGMII has no effect since the broken netif_carrier and
   ethtool code was removed.
