Subject: [net-next PATCH] e1000e: remove workaround for e1000 hardware

From: Jeff Kirsher <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:24:51 -0800

From: Jesse Brandeburg <[email-masked]>

During the move of support for PCIe devices from e1000 to e1000e, this workaround necessary only for older non-PCIe devices was mistakenly copied into e1000e.  Remove it.
