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

[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 it breaks the DMA state machine in rare cases.

Therefore, let's drop generic support.

FWIW, tango chips provide a reset register. When the ethernet block
comes out of reset, DMA is disabled.
