target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.19/300-mvneta-tx-queue-workaround.patch

   1 The hardware queue scheduling is apparently configured with fixed
   2 priorities, which creates a nasty fairness issue where traffic from one
   3 CPU can starve traffic from all other CPUs.
   4
   5 Work around this issue by forcing all tx packets to go through one CPU,
   6 until this issue is fixed properly.
