[PATCH net 05/13] net: stmmac: Enable ATDS for chain-mode

It wasn't stated why the Alternate Descriptor Size shouldn't have been
changed for the chained DMA descriptors, while the original commit did
introduce some chain_mode.c modifications. So the ATDS-related change in
commit c24602ef8664 ("stmmac: support extend descriptors") seems
contradicting. Anyway from the DW MAC/GMAC hardware point of view there is
no such limitation - whether the chained descriptors can't be used
together with the extended alternate descriptors. Moreover not setting the
BUS_MODE.ATDS flag will cause the driver malfunction in the framework of
the IPC Full Checksum and Advanced Timestamp feature, since the later
features require the additional 4-7 dwords of the DMA descriptor to set
some flags and a timestamp. So to speak in order to have all these
features working correctly in the chained mode too let's make sure the
ATDS flag is set irrespectively from the DMA descriptors mode.

Fixes: c24602ef8664 ("stmmac: support extend descriptors")
