Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: stmmac: remove unnecessary stmmac_mac_set() in stmmac_release()

From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:31:30 +0000

stmmac_release() calls phylink_stop() and then goes on to call
stmmac_mac_set(, false). However, phylink_stop() will call
stmmac_mac_link_down() before returning, which will do this work.
Remove this unnecessary call.
