Sorry, I don't have the Vybrid platform, but I think I don't think it has much
impact, at most it just takes up some more memory.

No, for fec, when a packet is attached to the BDs, the software will immediately
trigger the hardware to send the packet. In addition, I think it may improve the
latency, because the size of the tx ring becomes larger, and more packets can be
attached to the BD ring for burst traffic.

You must have misunderstood, let me explain more clearly, the queue will be
stopped when the available BDs are less than tx_stop_threshold (217 BDs). And
the queue will be waked when the available BDs are greater than tx_wake_threshold
(147 BDs). So in most cases, the available BDs are greater than tx_wake_threshold
when the queue is stopped, the only effect is to delay packet sending.
In my opinion, tx_wake_threshold should be greater than tx_stop_threshold, we
should stop queue when the available BDs are not enough for a skb to be attached.
And wake the queue when the available BDs are sufficient for a skb.

Below are the results on i.MX6UL/8MM/8MP/8ULP/93 platforms, i.MX6UL and
8ULP only support Fast ethernet. Others support 1G.
