Re: [net-next v8 2/3] net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: Add RSS support

["Frank Wunderlich" <frank.wunderlich@linux.dev>]

Hi Jakub,

thanks for your review, i have to discuss the previous parts (AI-review)
with MTK on how to make it better. The changes there seem not trivial for
me and this will take some time.

you mean splitting the code into more separate patches or the commit description?

will check again when we have the fixed flow (AI-review).

dito

@Mason: have you found some time for looking into the AI suggestions?
Maybe it is better discussing changes here if they match upstream
requirements as i did only up-port the SDK-patches with some small
changes and made tests :)
As a note: i have not activated RSS/LRO on other mt798x because it was
not clear, if RSS or LRO is better for them and only mt7988 can do both
simultanously. AI also complained about it. And this decision causes
changes in code too.
It would be great if you can use the actual state here as base for
changes so that i do not miss anything when upporting the SDK state again.
