Hi Sanchayan,

The dts setting is specific for i.mx6 (maybe i.mx5 is applicate),
and it needs below patch to co-work with it, it is an i.mx
controller specific improvement (not in core).

Other chipidea SoCs may have optimized parameters than default ones, it
needs to check with IC guys.

Enable stream mode should improve tx performance, you can have a try.
