Commit 5fabb01207a2 ("net: stmmac: Add initial XDP support") sets
PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV flag for page_pool unconditionally,
page_pool_recycle_direct() will call page_pool_dma_sync_for_device()
on every page even the page is not going to be reused by XDP program.

When XDP is not enabled, the page which holds the received buffer
will be recycled once the buffer is copied into new SKB by
skb_copy_to_linear_data(), then the MAC core will never reuse this
page any longer. Always setting PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV wastes CPU cycles
on unnecessary calling of page_pool_dma_sync_for_device().

After this patch, up to 9% noticeable performance improvement was observed
on certain platforms.

We have noticed a boot regression in both -next and mainline v6.12-rc1. 
Bisect is pointing to this commit. Reverting this commit fixes the problem.

This boot regression is seen on our Tegra234 Jetson AGX Orin platform 
that uses the drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-tegra.c driver. 
We are booting with NFS and although the network interface does come up, 
we fail to mount the rootfs via NFS.

So it would appear that we need to set this flag for this device. Any 
thoughts?

Thanks
Jon

This patch doesn't make sense to me. I'll send a revert shortly.
