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.
