net: cadence: macb: Enable software IRQ coalescing by default
This NIC doesn't have hardware IRQ coalescing. Under high load, interrupts can adversely affect performance. To mitigate this, enable software IRQ coalescing by default. On my system this increases receive throughput with iperf3 from 853 MBit/sec to 934 MBit/s, decreases interrupts from 69489/sec to 2016/sec, and decreases CPU utilization from 27% (4x Cortex-A53) to 14%. Latency is not affected (as far as I can tell).
