Bug Description
[Impact]
We landed a patch to support msm_emac module in initrd for amberwing platforms. But the upstream driver has since been renamed to qcom_emac. This module is needed in d-i's initrd so that these nics can be used to d-i install the system. The driver already exists in the zesty kernel under drivers/
Revert commit 14893d91c9c391f
[Test Case]
D-I install zesty on amberwing platform and notice that DI does not recognize the onboard two port nic.
[Regression Potential]
At present this driver applies only to amberwing systems, any regression will be isolated to amberwing platforms. The over all risk of regression is low.
