Enable HW descriptor prefetch by default by setting plat->dma_cfg->dche =
true in intel_mgbe_common_data(). Need to be noted that this capability
only be supported in DWMAC core version 5.20 onwards. In stmmac, there is
a checking to check the core version. If the core version is below 5.20,
this capability wouldn`t be configured.

Below is the iperf result comparison between HW descriptor prefetch
disabled(DCHE=0b) and enabled(DCHE=1b). Tested on Intel Elkhartlake
platform with DWMAC Core 5.20. Observed line rate performance
improvement with HW descriptor prefetch enabled.
