Merge branch 'broadcom-Adaptive-interrupt-coalescing'
Florian Fainelli says:
====================
net: broadcom: Adaptive interrupt coalescing
This patch series adds adaptive interrupt coalescing for the Gigabit Ethernet
drivers SYSTEMPORT and GENET.
This really helps lower the interrupt count and system load, as measured by
vmstat for a Gigabit TCP RX session:
SYSTEMPORT:

Please look at the implementation and let me know if you see any problems, this
was largely inspired by bnxt_en.
