Commit bf7afb29d545 ("phy: improve safety of fixed-phy MII register
reading") protected the fixed PHY status with a sequence counter.
Two years later, commit d2b977939b18 ("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
