[ Upstream commit 6554eac9ef2bd1c968886b31cc7266b49258a463 ]
Commit bf7afb29d5 ("phy: improve safety of fixed-phy MII register
reading") protected the fixed PHY status with a sequence counter.
Two years later, commit d2b977939b ("net: phy: fixed-phy: remove
fixed_phy_update_state()") removed the sequence counter's write side
critical section -- neutralizing its read side retry loop.
Remove the unused seqcount.
