[PATCH v2 6/9] net: mvneta: Change the number of default rx queues to one

From: Ezequiel Garcia <hidden>
Date: 2014-05-06 17:21:55
Subsystem: marvell mvneta ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Marcin Wojtas, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The driver does not support multiple rx queues, and so it's a waste
of resources to have a default number larger than one (1).
