Subject: [net-next 1/4] bna: Clear Driver Config Flags When HW Resets

        Driver configuration flags are retained across open/stop operations
        preventing configurations to be set in next open/stop.
        Setting MTU on a 1020 causes network to fail until a reboot is performed
        on the host.

        Clear the flags when configuration resets in hardware.
