-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Michael Buesch Drain the Microcode TX-status-FIFO before we enable IRQs. This is required, because the FIFO may still have entries left from a previous run. Those would immediately fire after enabling IRQs and would lead to an oops in the DMA TXstatus handling code.
