Subject: [PATCH] net: dp83822: disable false carrier interrupt

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.
