net: lan966x: Improve the CPU TX bitrate.
When doing manual injection of the frame, it is required to check if the TX FIFO is ready to accept the next word of the frame. For this we are using 'readx_poll_timeout_atomic', the only problem is that before it actually checks the status, is determining the time when to finish polling the status. Which seems to be an expensive operation. Therefore check the status of the TX FIFO before calling 'readx_poll_timeout_atomic'. Doing this will improve the TX bitrate by ~70%. Because 99% the FIFO is ready by that time. The measurements were done using iperf3.
