    net: Remove usage of net_device last_rx member · 4a7c9726
    Tobias Klauser authored
    The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device
    since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in
    commit 9f242738 ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()").
    
    However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and
    some driver just update it without actually using it.
    
    Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member
    added in commit 4dc89133 ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx")
    which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However,
    this commend was removed in commit f8ff080d ("bonding: remove
    useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later
    on still did update last_rx.
    
    Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and
    smc91c92_cs) which actually read and write it to use their own private
    copy in netdev_priv.
    
    Compile-tested with allyesconfig and allmodconfig on x86 and arm.
