> In fact setting threshold to '1' was wrong, because it causes interrupt
> every two packets. According to the documentation a reason behind it is
> following - interrupt occurs once sent buffers counter reaches a value,
> which is higher than one specified in MVNETA_TXQ_SIZE_REG(q). This
> behavior was confirmed during tests. Also when testing the SoC working
> as a NAS device, better performance was observed with int-per-packet,
> as it strongly depends on the fact that all transmitted packets are
> released immediately.
> 
> This commit enables NETA controller work in interrupt per sent packet mode
> by setting coalescing threshold to 0.

Applied, thanks.
