This text is from the Databook:

"In multiple Rx queues configuration, all the queues are disabled by default.
Enable the Rx queue by programming the corresponding field in this register."

So by theory, only multiple queue configured cores needs the enable operation.

>>> But came to my attention a setup that has 1 RX queue and 2 TX queues, which
enables multiple queues mechanism inside the core (even with 1 RX) and so RX
needs to be enabled. Because of that I agree with this patch.
