[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: stmmac: ethtool: Address off-by-one when reading the coal rx-usecs

When reading the rx-usecs coalescing parameters on a dwmac variant that
uses the RIWT for RX interrupt coalescing, we convert the riwt value to
usecs :
- One riwt cycle is 256 clock ticks, we compute how many ticks in $riwt
cycles
- divide that by how many ticks in a microsecond, and we get the
rx-usecs.
The opposite computation is done when setting the rx-usecs param.
Because of the 256 ratio, we're subjected to off-by-one errors in the
value read-back, which can be reliably measured on i.mx8MP :
$ ethtool -C eth1 rx-usecs 102
$ ethtool -c eth1
Coalesce parameters for eth1:
[...]
rx-usecs: 101
Let's be more explicit about the rounding for the riwt to usec
computations by using DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST, which solves the off-by-one.
This does change the boundaries of accepted rx-usecs parameters, as the
previously accepted values were in the 16-246 us range, and now fall
into the 15-245 range on imx8mp.
