net: lan966x: Stop using packing library
When a frame is injected from CPU, it is required to create an IFH(Inter frame header) which sits in front of the frame that is transmitted. This IFH, contains different fields like destination port, to bypass the analyzer, priotity, etc. Lan966x it is using packing library to set and get the fields of this IFH. But this seems to be an expensive operations. If this is changed with a simpler implementation, the RX will be improved with ~5Mbit while on the TX is a much bigger improvement as it is required to set more fields. Below are the numbers for TX.
