[PATCH] net: stmmac: dwxgmac2: enable L2 split header support

> XGMAC2 doesn't program the MAC extended configuration registers

> descriptor: RDES2[9:0] for IP packets (L34T set) and RDES2[9:2]

Hi Sagar,

are we missing to set dma_cap->sphen for dwxgmac2?

I guess it would be better to define a mask for XGMAC_CONFIG1_SPLM.

If XGMAC_RDES3_L34T is not defined on non-last descriptor, is it fine to use it
here? IIUC XGMAC_RDES2_HL depends on XGMAC_RDES3_L34T, right?
