We've encountered a transmit queue timeout issue on the MT79888 and
have identified it as being related to the RSS feature.
We suspect this problem arises from a low level of free TX DMADs, the
TX Ring alomost full.
Since RSS is enabled, there are 4 Rx Rings, with each containing 2048
DMADs, totaling 8192 for Rx. In contrast, the Tx Ring has only 2048
DMADs. Tx DMADs will be consumed rapidly during a 10G LAN to 10G WAN
forwarding test, subsequently causing the transmit queue to stop.
Therefore, we reduced the number of Rx DMADs for each ring to balance
both Tx and Rx DMADs, which resolves this issue.
