This only works for RTL8153. However, what you use is RTL8152.
It is like delay completion. It is used to reduce the loading of CPU
by letting a transfer contain more data to reduce the number of
transfers.

The algorithm is from our hw engineers, and it should be
(agg_buf_sz - packet size) / 8
You could refer to commit a59e6d815226 ("r8152: correct the rx early size").
