enetc_alloc_txbdr() deals with allocating resources necessary for a TX
ring to work (the array of software BDs and the array of TSO headers).

The next_to_clean and next_to_use pointers are overwritten with proper
values which are read from hardware here:

enetc_open
-> enetc_alloc_tx_resources
   -> enetc_alloc_txbdr
      -> set to zero
-> enetc_setup_bdrs
   -> enetc_setup_txbdr
      -> read from hardware

So their initialization with zeroes is pointless and confusing.
Delete it.

Consequently, since enetc_setup_txbdr() has no opposite cleanup
function, also delete the resetting of these indices from
enetc_free_tx_ring().

History
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.
