Public bug reported:

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

The mlxbf_gige driver currently has three driver-managed
interrupt counts that increment each time every interrupt
handler executes. This has been reviewed and found to be
unnecessary given core logic in Linux kernel manages the
same information.

[Fix]

The fix is to remove the driver-managed interrupt counts
from the driver itself, and let the core handle it.
There is an upstream commit already that makes this change.

[Test Case]

The driver should function as before, specifically:
* driver probes successfully
* oob_net0 link comes up, as seen with "ifconfig -a"

[Regression Potential]

This change only affects counters that are visible inside
driver, so thus should not introduce any regression.
