Russell King (Oracle) d8a2865035 net: stmmac: remove support for lpi_intr_o 
commit 14eb64db8f upstream.

The dwmac databook for v3.74a states that lpi_intr_o is a sideband
signal which should be used to ungate the application clock, and this
signal is synchronous to the receive clock. The receive clock can run
at 2.5, 25 or 125MHz depending on the media speed, and can stop under
the control of the link partner. This means that the time it takes to
clear is dependent on the negotiated media speed, and thus can be 8,
40, or 400ns after reading the LPI control and status register.

It has been observed with some aggressive link partners, this clock
can stop while lpi_intr_o is still asserted, meaning that the signal
remains asserted for an indefinite period that the local system has
no direct control over.

The LPI interrupts will still be signalled through the main interrupt
path in any case, and this path is not dependent on the receive clock.

This, since we do not gate the application clock, and the chances of
adding clock gating in the future are slim due to the clocks being
ill-defined, lpi_intr_o serves no useful purpose. Remove the code which
requests the interrupt, and all associated code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
