net: stmmac: CPU Performance Improvements
CPU Performance improvements for stmmac. Please check bellow for results
before and after the series.
Patch 1/7, allows RX Interrupt on Completion to be disabled and only use the
RX HW Watchdog.
Patch 2/7, setups the default RX coalesce settings instead of using the
minimum value.
Patch 3/7 and 4/7, removes the uneeded computations for RX Flow Control
activation/de-activation, on some cases.
Patch 5/7, tunes-up the default coalesce settings.
Patch 6/7, re-works the TX coalesce timer activation logic.
Patch 7/7, removes the now uneeded TBU interrupt.
