[vincentmli]

yt6801 NIC is used in Loongson miniPC, but lack of linux upstream driver, there is upstream work going on https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250408092835.3952-1-Frank.Sae@motor-comm.com/

yt6801 for 6.15-rc1 result in

CC [M]  fuxi-efuse.o
fuxi-gmac-phy.c: In function 'fxgmac_phy_timer_destroy':
fuxi-gmac-phy.c:493:5: error: implicit declaration of function
'del_timer_sync'; did you mean 'dev_mc_sync'?

make[4]: *** [/lib/modules/6.15.0-rc1-ipfire/build/scripts/Makefile.build:203:

change del_timer_sync(&pdata->expansion.phy_poll_tm); to timer_delete_sync(&pdata->expansion.phy_poll_tm); resolve the compiling error
