From: Faizal Rahim <redacted> autoneg_failed in struct igc_mac_info is never set in the igc driver. Remove the field and the dead code checking it in igc_config_fc_after_link_up(). The field originates from the e1000/e1000e fiber/serdes forced-link path, where MAC-level autoneg timeout sets it to signal the flow-control code to force pause. igc supports only copper, so it never needs to set this field.
