Please break this patch up into a series and include good commit
messages. You can then explain why this change is safe.

Please don't spam the kernel log. Only do prints if something goes
wrong.

My understanding of NCSI is that you have an additional RGMII like
port feeding into the MAC. The MAC still has all its media machinery,
a PCS, PHY etc. Something needs to drive that PCS and PHY. So it would
be good to explain in the commit message why you are removing all
this.
