Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: microchip: lan743x : bidirectional throughput improvement

The LAN743x/PCI11xxx DMA descriptors are always 4 dwords long, but the
device supports placing the descriptors in memory back to back or
reserving space in between them using its DMA_DESCRIPTOR_SPACE (DSPACE)
configurable hardware setting. Currently DSPACE is unnecessarily set to
match the host's L1 cache line size, resulting in space reserved in
between descriptors in most platforms and causing a suboptimal behavior
(single PCIe Mem transaction per descriptor). By changing the setting
to DSPACE=16 many descriptors can be packed in a single PCIe Mem
transaction resulting in a massive performance improvement in
bidirectional tests without any negative effects.
Tested and verified improvements on x64 PC and several ARM platforms
(typical data below)
