[RFC PATCH net-next v2 0/6] net: xilinx: axienet: Enable adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM

To improve performance without sacrificing latency under low load,
enable DIM. While I appreciate not having to write the library myself, I
do think there are many unusual aspects to DIM, as detailed in the last
patch.

This series depends on [1-2] and is therefore marked RFC. This series is
otherwise ready to merge.

Changes in v2:
- Add some symbolic constants for IRQ delay timer
- Report an error for bad coalesce settings
- Don't use spin_lock_irqsave when we know the context
- Split the CR calculation refactor from runtime coalesce settings
  adjustment support for easier review.
- Have axienet_update_coalesce_rx/tx take the cr value/mask instead of
  calculating it with axienet_calc_cr. This will make it easier to add
  partial updates in the next few commits.
- Get coalesce parameters from driver state
- Don't take the RTNL in axienet_rx_dim_work to avoid deadlock. Instead,
  calculate a partial cr update that axienet_update_coalesce_rx can
  perform under a spin lock.
- Use READ/WRITE_ONCE when accessing/modifying rx_irqs
