Subject: [PATCH 1/5] remove TxStartThresh and RxEarlyThresh

From: Jesse Huang <jesse@...lus.com.tw>

Change Logs:
For patent issue need to remove TxStartThresh and RxEarlyThresh. This patent 
is cut-through patent. If use this function, Tx will start to transmit after 
few data be move in to Tx FIFO. We are not allow to use those function in 
DFE530/DFE550/DFE580/DL10050/IP100/IP100A. It will decrease a little 
performance.
