[PATCH 2/8] usbnet: smsc95xx: add kconfig for turbo mode
From: Ben Dooks
Date: Fri Oct 12 2018 - 04:34:32 EST
Add a configuration option for the default state of turbo mode
on the smsc95xx networking driver. Some systems it is better
to default this to off as it causes significant increases in
soft-irq load.
