Subject: [080/262] dp83640: free packet queues on remove

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@...il.com>

commit 8b3408f8ee994973869d8ba32c5bf482bc4ddca4 upstream.

If the PHY should disappear (for example, on an USB Ethernet MAC), then
the driver would leak any undelivered time stamp packets. This commit
fixes the issue by calling the appropriate functions to free any packets
left in the transmit and receive queues.

The driver first appeared in v3.0.
