Subject: Revert "niu: Add support for byte queue limits."
From: "David S. Miller" <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 6a2b28ef036ab5c66fdc606fe97d9e5cb34ea409 ]
This reverts commit efa230f2c68abab817f13473077f8d0cc74f43f3.
BQL doesn't work with how this driver currently only takes TX
interrupts every 1/4 of the TX ring. That behavior needs to be fixed,
but that's a larger non-trivial task and for now we have to revert
BQL support as this makes the device currently completely unusable.
