mpc85xx: Drop pci aliases to avoid domain changes
As of upstream Linux commit 0fe1e96fef0a ("powerpc/pci: Prefer PCI domain assignment via DT 'linux,pci-domain' and alias"), the PCIe domain address is no longer numbered by the lowest 16 bits of the PCI register address after a fallthrough. Instead of the fallthrough, the enumeration process accepts the alias ID (as determined by `of_alias_scan()`). This causes e.g.: 9000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11) 9000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ... to become 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11) 0000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ... ... which then causes the sysfs path of the netdev to change, invalidating the `wifi_device.path`s enumerated in `/etc/config/wireless`. One other solution might be to migrate the uci configuration, as was done for mvebu in commit 0bd5aa89fcf2 ("mvebu: Migrate uci config to new PCIe path"). However, there are concerns that the sysfs path will change once again once some upstream patches[^2][^3] are merged and backported (and `CONFIG_PPC_PCI_BUS_NUM_DOMAIN_DEPENDENT` is enabled). Instead, remove the aliases and allow the fallthrough to continue for now. We will provide a migration in a later release. This was first reported as a Github issue[^1].
