I added the netdev_tx_reset_queue(txq) calls to ndo_open() path:
netdev->ndo_open()
  bcmgenet_open()
    bcmgenet_netif_start()
      for all Tx queues:
        netdev_tx_reset_queue(txq)
          clear __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF
          dql_reset()
      netif_tx_start_all_queues(dev)
        for all Tx queues:
          clear __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF

So, I think the call to netdev_tx_reset_queue(txq) is in the right
place. It ensures that the Tx queue state is clean when the device is
opened.
