    r8169: disable tx interrupt coalescing on RTL8168 · eb94dc9a
    Heiner Kallweit authored
    In contrast to switching rx irq coalescing off what fixed an issue,
    switching tx irq coalescing off is merely a latency optimization,
    therefore net-next. As part of this change:
    
    - Remove INTT_0 .. INTT_3 constants, they aren't used.
    
    - Remove comment in rtl_hw_start_8169(), we now have a detailed
      description by the code in rtl_set_coalesce().
    
    - Due to switching irq coalescing off per default we don't need the
      initialization in rtl_hw_start_8168(). If ethtool is used to switch
      on coalescing then rtl_set_coalesce() will configure this register.
    
    For the sake of completeness: This patch just changes the default.
    Users still have the option to configure irq coalescing via ethtool.
