net: ethernet: mediatek: enhance RX path by reducing the frequency of the memory barrier used
The patch makes move wmb() to outside the loop that could help RX path handling more faster although that RX descriptors aren't freed for DMA to use as soon as possible, but based on my experiment and the result shows it still can reach about 943Mbpis without performance drop that is tested based on the setup with one port using Giga PHY and 256 RX descriptors for DMA to move.
