In the case of netpoll_poll_dev() is invoked repeatedly from an
exception handler, the NAPI poll() callback is always called with bit
NAPI_STATE_NPSVC set in poll_one_napi(). But, when bit
NAPI_STATE_NPSVC is set, napi_complete() doesn't deque and clear the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED. The MAC_RX interrupt is never disabled in net poll
loop when bit NAPI_STATE_SCHED is set. So, the call to enable_irq() in
next NAPI poll() callback triggers the warning "Unbalanced enable for
IRQ %d\n".

The other Ethernet drivers don't call enable_irq() after
napi_complete(). They disable the interrupt in their device
controller. But, bfin mac has no such capability and has to disable
the MAC_RX interrupt by enable_irq().

I checked other other drivers in driver/net/ethernet/

In realtek/8139cp.c
------------------------------------------------
                napi_gro_flush(napi, false);
                spin_lock_irqsave(&cp->lock, flags);
                __napi_complete(napi);
                cpw16_f(IntrMask, cp_intr_mask);
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cp->lock, flags);
------------------------------------------------
The same as my code.

In intel/e1000/e1000_main.c
------------------------------------------------
                napi_complete(napi);
                if (!test_bit(__E1000_DOWN, &adapter->flags))
                        e1000_irq_enable(adapter);

static void e1000_irq_enable(struct e1000_adapter *adapter)
{
        struct e1000_hw *hw = &adapter->hw;

        ew32(IMS, IMS_ENABLE_MASK);
        E1000_WRITE_FLUSH();
}
-------------------------------------------------
e1000_irq_enable() other than the system enable_irq() is called after
napi_complete(). e1000_irq_enable() writes the register in e1000
ethernet controller directly. Even if it is invoked more timers than
the e1000_irq_disable() is in the net_poll(), no unbalanced IRQ
enabling warning is printed in kernel.

The default value of CONFIG_BFIN_RX_DESC_NUM is 20 while
NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT is 64. I don't see this checking is hit. I can set
the range of CONFIG_BFIN_RX_DESC_NUM to be 20 ~ 64 in Kconfig as well.
