stmmac: dwmac-loongson: drop useless check for compatible fallback
[ Upstream commit 31fea092c6f9f8fb2c40a08137907f5fbeae55dd ]
Device binds to proper PCI ID (LOONGSON, 0x7a03), already listed in DTS,
so checking for some other compatible does not make sense. It cannot be
bound to unsupported platform.
Drop useless, incorrect (space in between) and undocumented compatible.
