net: stmmac: fix taprio schedule configuration
When configuring a 802.1Qbv schedule through the tc taprio qdisc on an NXP i.MX8MPlus device, the effective cycle time differed from the requested one by N*96ns, with N number of entries in the Qbv Gate Control List. This is because the driver was adding a 96ns margin to each interval of the GCL, apparently to account for the IPG. The problem was observed on NXP i.MX8MPlus devices but likely affected all devices relying on the same configuration callback (dwmac 4.00, 4.10, 5.10 variants). Fix the issue by removing the margins, and simply setup the MAC with the provided cycle time value. This is the behavior expected by the user-space API, as altering the Qbv schedule timings would break standards conformance. This is also the behavior of several other Ethernet MAC implementations supporting taprio, including the dwxgmac variant of stmmac.
