stmmac: intel: Enable HW descriptor prefetch by default
Enable HW descriptor prefetch by default by setting plat->dma_cfg->dche = true in intel_mgbe_common_data(). Need to be noted that this capability only be supported in DWMAC core version 5.20 onwards. In stmmac, there is a checking to check the core version. If the core version is below 5.20, this capability wouldn`t be configured. Below is the iperf result comparison between HW descriptor prefetch disabled(DCHE=0b) and enabled(DCHE=1b). Tested on Intel Elkhartlake platform with DWMAC Core 5.20. Observed line rate performance improvement with HW descriptor prefetch enabled.
