Subject: [PATCH 28/32] net: dp83822: disable false carrier interrupt
Git-commit: c96614eeab663646f57f67aa591e015abd8bd0ba
References: git-fixes
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc5

When unplugging an Ethernet cable, false carrier events were produced by
the PHY at a very high rate. Once the false carrier counter full, an
interrupt was triggered every few clock cycles until the cable was
replugged. This resulted in approximately 10k/s interrupts.

Since the false carrier counter (FCSCR) is never used, we can safely
disable this interrupt.

In addition to improving performance, this also solved MDIO read
timeouts I was randomly encountering with an i.MX8 fec MAC because of
the interrupt flood. The interrupt count and MDIO timeout fix were
tested on a v5.4.110 kernel.
