Hello Deepak

sorry for this delay.

I've not clear at all your question.
The driver well uses the rx_coe as briefly described below:

probe funct
  |__ hw_init
         |_ check the RX type from HW cap reg
                 |__ Override the rx_coe if required

After that the rx_coe is used and passed to the core as expected.
In case of there is no HW cap register so the rx_coe from platform will
be used.
