[PATCH] synclink_gt add receive pio mode

[PATCH] synclink_gt add receive pio mode

[Paul Fulghum]

Add receive programmed IO mode to reduce receive latency
when using low data rates. The receive FIFO trigger
level of 128 bytes used in DMA mode creates excessive latency
when operating at low data rates. PIO mode is selected when user
application requests data in blocks of less than 128 bytes.

Looks good but needs a Signed-off-by
