Thierry, I don't understand this patch. It will have 0 impact.

In stmmac_platform configuration, 0 impact:

		if (of_property_read_bool(q_node, "snps,dcb-algorithm"))
			plat->rx_queues_cfg[queue].mode_to_use = MTL_QUEUE_DCB;
		else if (of_property_read_bool(q_node, "snps,avb-algorithm"))
			plat->rx_queues_cfg[queue].mode_to_use = MTL_QUEUE_AVB;
		else
**			plat->rx_queues_cfg[queue].mode_to_use = MTL_QUEUE_DCB;

In dwmac4_core, 0 impact:

	value &= GMAC_RX_QUEUE_CLEAR(queue);
	if (mode == MTL_QUEUE_AVB)
		value |= GMAC_RX_AV_QUEUE_ENABLE(queue);
	else if (mode == MTL_QUEUE_DCB)
		value |= GMAC_RX_DCB_QUEUE_ENABLE(queue);

I think you should set the default mode in (**).

Thanks.
