Thanks.

1) The comment in "[PATCH 06/10] r6040: completely rework the RX path"
seems a it misleading to me:
! ...
! We now allocate skbs on the fly in r6040_rx, and we handle allocation
! failure instead of simply dropping the packet. Remove the
! ...

Afaiks netif_receive_skb is skipped as soon as the allocation fails.
The packet is thus still dropped, isn't it ?

2) I am a bit surprized that r6040_descriptor mixes endian tainted
fields (buf, ndesc) with untainted ones (status, len). It the latter
ought to be tainted too, it could be done in the #define lines of
"[PATCH 07/10] r6040: use definitions for magic values in descriptor status"
