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.
Before:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.03 sec 55.2 MBytes 46.2 Mbits/sec 0 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 53.8 MBytes 45.0 Mbits/sec receiver
After:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.10 sec 95.0 MBytes 78.9 Mbits/sec 0 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.11 sec 95.0 MBytes 78.8 Mbits/sec receiver
