[PATCH] ucc_geth: fix ucc halt problem in half duplex mode

[PATCH] ucc_geth: fix ucc halt problem in half duplex mode

[Li Yang]

In commit 58933c64(ucc_geth: Fix the wrong the Rx/Tx FIFO size),
the UCC_GETH_UTFTT_INIT is set to 512 based on the recommendation
of the QE Reference Manual.  But that will sometimes cause tx halt
while working in half duplex mode.

According to errata draft QE_GENERAL-A003(High Tx Virtual FIFO
threshold size can cause UCC to halt), setting UTFTT less than
[(UTFS x (M - 8)/M) - 128] will prevent this from happening
(M is the minimum buffer size).

The patch changes UTFTT back to 256.
