[PATCH v2 net-next 6/7] net: stmmac: Rework TX Coalesce logic

[Jose Abreu]

Coalesce logic currently increments the number of packets and sets the
IC bit when the coalesced packets have passed a given limit. This does
not reflect very well what coalesce was meant for as we can have a large
number of packets that are coalesced and then a single one, sent later
on that has the IC bit.

Rework the logic so that it coalesces only upon a limit of packets and
sets the IC bit for large number of packets.
