Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: fix sleep inside spinlock

macb_set_tx_clk() is called under a spinlock but itself calls clk_set_rate()
which can sleep. This results in:

The obvious fix is to move the call to macb_set_tx_clk() out of the
protected area. This seems safe as rx and tx are both disabled anyway at
this point.
It is however not entirely clear what the spinlock shall protect. It
could be the read-modify-write access to the NCFGR register, but this
is accessed in macb_set_rx_mode() and macb_set_rxcsum_feature() as well
without holding the spinlock. It could also be the register accesses
done in mog_init_rings() or macb_init_buffers(), but again these
functions are called without holding the spinlock in macb_hresp_error_task().
The locking seems fishy in this driver and it might deserve another look
before this patch is applied.
