Mohammad Athari Bin Ismail 676b7ec67d stmmac: intel: Enable HW descriptor prefetch by default
Enable HW descriptor prefetch by default by setting plat->dma_cfg->dche =
true in intel_mgbe_common_data(). Need to be noted that this capability
only be supported in DWMAC core version 5.20 onwards. In stmmac, there is
a checking to check the core version. If the core version is below 5.20,
this capability wouldn`t be configured.

Below is the iperf result comparison between HW descriptor prefetch
disabled(DCHE=0b) and enabled(DCHE=1b). Tested on Intel Elkhartlake
platform with DWMAC Core 5.20. Observed line rate performance
improvement with HW descriptor prefetch enabled.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
