net: stmmac: fix handling of zero coalescing tx-usecs
[ Upstream commit fa60b8163816f194786f3ee334c9a458da7699c6 ]
Setting ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs 0 is supposed to disable the use of the
coalescing timer but currently it gets programmed with zero delay
instead.
Disable the use of the coalescing timer if tx-usecs is zero by
preventing it from being restarted. Note that to keep things simple we
don't start/stop the timer when the coalescing settings are changed, but
just let that happen on the next transmit or timer expiry.
