Subject: [PATCH 5.4 11/90] net: lantiq: disable interrupt before sheduling NAPI

From: Aleksander Jan Bajkowski <olek2@...pl>

[ Upstream commit f2386cf7c5f4ff5d7b584f5d92014edd7df6c676 ]

This patch fixes TX hangs with threaded NAPI enabled. The scheduled
NAPI seems to be executed in parallel with the interrupt on second
thread. Sometimes it happens that ltq_dma_disable_irq() is executed
after xrx200_tx_housekeeping(). The symptom is that TX interrupts
are disabled in the DMA controller. As a result, the TX hangs after
a few seconds of the iperf test. Scheduling NAPI after disabling
interrupts fixes this issue.

Tested on Lantiq xRX200 (BT Home Hub 5A).
