[RPi5] net: cadence: macb: Enable software IRQ coalescing by default

The macb ethernet driver (Raspberry Pi 5) delivers interrupts only to
the first core, quickly saturating it at higher packet rates.

Introducing software interrupt coalescing dramatically alleviates this
limitation; the oneliner fix is upstream in
d57f7b45945ac0517ff8ea50655f00db6e8d637c.

Please backport this fix to the Ubuntu Raspi 6.8 and 6.11 kernels to
bring this benefit to more Raspberry Pis; it applies cleanly on these
branches.

Many thanks,
  Daniel
