This reverts commit8865d22656, which caused breakage for platforms which are not using xgmac2 or gmac4. Only these two cores have the capability of providing the FIFO sizes from hardware capability fields (which are provided in priv->dma_cap.[tr]x_fifo_size.) All other cores can not, which results in these two fields containing zero. We also have platforms that do not provide a value in priv->plat->[tr]x_fifo_size, resulting in these also being zero. This causes the new tests introduced by the reverted commit to fail, and produce e.g.: stmmaceth f0804000.eth: Can't specify Rx FIFO size An example of such a platform which fails is QEMU's npcm750-evb. This uses dwmac1000 which, as noted above, does not have the capability to provide the FIFO sizes from hardware. Therefore, revert the commit to maintain compatibility with the way the driver used to work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
