Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] e1000e: Disable TSO on i219-LM card to increase speed

From: Sebastian Basierski <sebastianx.basierski@...el.com>

While using i219-LM card currently it was only possible to achieve
about 60% of maximum speed due to regression introduced in Linux 5.8.
This was caused by TSO not being disabled by default despite commit
f29801030ac6 ("e1000e: Disable TSO for buffer overrun workaround").
Fix that by disabling TSO during driver probe.
