    net: lan966x: Don't read RX timestamp if not needed · ff89ac70

    Whenever a frame was received to the CPU, the HW is timestamping the
    frame. In the IFH(Inter Frame Header) it is found the nanosecond part
    of the timestamps the SW is required to read from HW the second part.
    But reading the second part it seems to be a expensive operations, so
    so change this such to read the second part only when rx filter is
    enabled.
    Doing this change gives the RX a performance boost of ~70mbit.

    now:
    [  5]   0.00-10.01  sec   652 MBytes   530 Mbits/sec    0 sender
