Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] net: moxa: clear DESC1 on ndo_start_xmit()

TX buffer length is not cleared on ndo_start_xmit().
Failing to do so can bug/hang the controller and
cause TX interrupts to stop altogether.

Remove the readl() and compute a new value for DESC1.

Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69031

Notes:
    Changes since v5:
    
    1. remove readl(desc + TX_REG_OFFSET_DESC1) in moxart_mac_start_xmit()
    2. compute entirely new values for DESC1
    3. set TX_DESC1_END if (tx_head == TX_DESC_NUM_MASK)
    
    Applies to next-20140825
