Subject: [PATCH 4.19 27/68] lan743x: Fix TX Stall Issue

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bryan Whitehead <Bryan.Whitehead@...rochip.com>

[ Upstream commit 90490ef7269906423a1c1b917fc24be8b1602658 ]

It has been observed that tx queue stalls while downloading
from certain web sites (example www.speedtest.net)

The cause has been tracked down to a corner case where
dma descriptors where not setup properly. And there for a tx
completion interrupt was not signaled.

This fix corrects the problem by properly marking the end of
a multi descriptor transmission.
