[PATCH v3 1/4] net: nb8800: Drop generic support

2017-11-14 Thread Marc Gonzalez
According to our HW dev, there is no provision for software to safely disable RX DMA in the AU-NB8800 hardware block (ethernet DMA). Thus, it is the responsibility of the SoC designer to provide such a feature. The nb8800_dma_stop() implementation is a clever hack that works most of the times, but
