Subject: [PATCH v2] net: macb: Handle the RXUBR interrupt on all devices
There is a hardware issue under heavy load where DMA can stop. This
causes endless "used buffer descriptor read" interrupts, but it can be
cleared by re-enabling RX. See the at91 manual section 41.3.1, or the
Zynq manual section 16.7.4, for details.
The at91 driver already works around this hardware issue, and the same
workaround applies to at least the Zynq Ethernet (and possibly more
devices), so apply it here as well. In addition, handle the RXUBR
interrupt, since the driver turns it on with MACB_RX_INT_FLAGS anyway.
